With those remarks I will leave it up to your honed skills to figure out.
If you don't have anything constructive to say, please refrain from
responding to any message on these lists. The purpose of these lists is
to help each other.
You know really... I did not see anything that you have replied with to
be constructive criticism "At all".
And personally if you really want to reply with remarks of "Would you
mind sharing your findings Sherlock Holmes" You can then keep your
comments to your self as I do not find them useful and my name is not
Sherlock Holmes.
Secondly I would expect a much more intelligent remark to come from
someone with your background but I guess that comes with age.
So my suggestion in constructiveness to you would be to think harder
before you critique a post of the very same nature as the one you posted.
As regards to the OP the email was meant as a confirmation to the author
that the problem did lye on his end and that by paying closer attention
to "the paths" that were displayed in the OP would have revealed the
problem.
OK. I will try to say something "constructive".
You seem to think that "clever", useless comments make you look good. As
someone who has been working with FreeBSD and the FreeBSD community for
a long time, all you really do is make yourself look juvenile, arrogant,
and rude. You are a prime example of why many people approaching the
FreeBSD community for help claim that we are an arrogant and rude bunch.
That's great and all but have you read the reply that I had originally
made to the OP. It does not "seem" like it from your comments.
The information content of your messages approaches zero. Maybe the
problem is trivial and obvious to you. Maybe it would be to Ed, if he
could spot it. Now, if you have never missed an obvious bug until you
asked someone why the code would not work, you are either truly
exceptional (along with the adjectives listed above) or have written
little or no code of your own.
Please either provide reasonable assistance when responding to questions
or don't reply at all. No one likes a smart ass,
Reasonable assistance I think that was pretty reasonable, I do not
recall anyone paying something for anything I have said and it seemed to
me that he was asking for more of a confirmation.
<plonk>
I do not like smart asses either, which in turn is why I am still
replying to comments about the followup and why I don't know that I feel
I should have to defend my self on this matter.
For one:
The followup that I had made as I already stated was confirming the
problem was on his end and in no way that I see was offending, maybe I
could have choose different words but that does not relieve the response
I had received after from Ed.
For two:
If you want to call someone something call them by the respective name
or email address that they have spoken with. I do not ever recall naming
Ed anything other than his own name nor anyone else. As spoken do on to
others as you would do onto your self. I repeat my name is not Sherlock
Holmes.
Thirdly:
Constructive ? there was nothing non-constructive about the followup I
had made. I have missed plenty of things in the past and would never
claim otherwise and the information that I offered certainly was not
complete but was meant not to be, and not in a critiquing manner.
