That does not make sense to me. If anything I see the opposite. People going around on power trips. Afraid of losing any of their "powers". Resistant to any change that may change their "power". Other times flat out abuse of power. I do not agree on people feeling they lack the power. I haven't seen that. Nor would I agree people do not have the power to do something. In fact people with the power ensure only their way is the way things are done. They have the power so they resist any change. I see lots of power trips in Gentoo. No central power. I see things completely differently. Rather than continue on. I said what I did to end the convo rather than carry one. Since you assumed I did not read, here is the reply I hoped to avoid. I hoped to leave it as I have a different perspective. Which you can see more of now. > As you point out, this is purely an internal problem. I don't really > feel all that frustrated with you. Sadly a vocal minority surely does. If most get past others perception of me, insults, and all around the way I am seen. Then most would realize what ever they think about me, is horribly incorrect. I am very different than I may seem. Almost no one around here knows me. There are a few who have met me. Most have moved on, but some are still around. For that reason I never assume to know anything about another. While people assume all sorts of stuff about me. Not to mention different cultures, etc. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
