yes, in my experience, i've always found that people are much more

funny, i don't remember a question in his original message.
"help" does not necessarily imply a question. he wants vqadmin
recoded to not have hard-coded /cgi-bin/. i don't see the developers
necessarily deciding they need to jump through hoops to do what this
person wants, when he opens by insulting them. furthermore, i may be
mistaken, but this is open source software. if you don't like
something about the software, you can either ask for it (nicely,
which usually is...nice) or you can *code it yourself*. 'teksaport'
says the quality of code is "not what [he'd] expect from a C
programmer". this implies he can do better. have at it, i say.
i also don't remember seeing your name in the source code.
it's not. so what?
the
message wasn't even sent to you, why go out of your way to attack
somebody with a legitimate complaint?
the message was sent to the vqadmin mailing list. it was, therefore,
sent to me. you have a strange notion of what an 'attack' is.
calm down, the man's got
something to say, and i thought he did a pretty good job of saying it.
'calm down'? i'll note that i've just trimmed thirty-three lines,
across eight paragraphs (not including seven line sig) following your
comment above. and i'm the one who needs to calm down?
