Will, I appreciate the spirit of what you posted, but I want to be clear that I do not expect or request any special treatment, so I don't agree with you.
We should *always* have some level of respect of gentoo-dev, regardless of who we're talking to. -Daniel On 3/4/07, William L. Thomson Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I hope this does not generate many if any replies. Some might seen Daniel as a deserter, sell out for leaving much less going to work for M$, and so on. Granted while he was gone, many things have changed. I am sure he is trying to catch up on all that. I am also sure he is appreciative and thankful for all those who kept Gentoo going and moving forward in his absence. But let us all not forget that just like with Linus, without Daniel and his past efforts there would be no Gentoo. In that regard I think we all owe him a level of professional respect and politeness. Which we all also owe each other as well. Granted he like us all is human, and we all make mistakes. No one of use knows everything about all things, past, present, and future. I believe he has good intentions with his return to the project. I think to a certain extend we should follow his lead, because indirectly we already are. We are working on a project he started, under foundations, and other things that were mostly put into place by him. So I we can cut him some slack, and we should all have some level of respect, at least in public, towards the father, creator, and founder of Gentoo. IMHO, from a rather new dev ~7months. So please do not set me on fire or stake me. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
