If you want to actually get banned from Gentoo you need to do a LOT worse than that stuff. People seem to assume that the worst they've seen somebody behave on a public mailing list is the worst they've ever behaved anywhere. People are generally on their best behavior in public. The sorts of things I've seen people get banned from Gentoo for are the sorts of things that would get just about anybody fired from any large business. While I wasn't as much of an insider in the days of yore as I've been in recent years, my general sense has been that things weren't very different back then. -- Rich
