Well, in the context, no. Had the information been correct *and* actually applied to the situation, it would have been a different case. As it stands though, Arnt didn't bother to find out who actually was the author of the plane (easy to do) and went off on a completely irrelevant and in my eyes offensive rant. The point that I think Durk (and many others in the past) was trying to make is that in Arnt's case, the information is rarely useful. People who have a few commits under their belts tend to get the occasional unpolitic remark overlooked, but those who spend most of their time criticizing and none of it making concrete contributions tend to wear out their welcome. This is a sentiment that I have heard voiced many times, on both lists and IRC as well as in face to face conversations with various other contributers (who all, I might point out, have a solid body of work in CVS to point to.) This is not the first time we have had this conversation. In other words, your input is welcome. Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
