Hi, Jörg, you do have a point (or two) and guys? Cut him some slack, ok?
I had my 'clashes' with him in the past, and yes, sometimes he is tiresome to deal with or too tempting to provoke him, but this whole mess is really not his fault or only to a very small part that could easily explained with miscommunication. After all this years reading mails and postings he wrote I came to the conclusion that the biggest problem is a certain lack of people skills he haa. He is a great programmer but sometimes has problems to sell his ideas/thoughts/points. A lot of times I thought 'gosh, he is right, but sadly he just said it in the worst way possible'. Jörg, I don't want to attack you, it is just an observation. I have the uttermost respect for your programming skills/talent and knowledge about SCSI and everything related. His cdrtools is usually in top shape and while everybody is free to disagree with some of his choices, nobody should attack him like some in this thread. If he says that cdrkit&co have bugs cdrtools has not, I believe him. I don't even google for it. Because whatever altercations you have or want to have with him - he knows his software and he fixes the bugs that pop up (except in cases when people think there is a bug and Jörg thinks otherwise, but hey that is no good reason to bash him). He is doing this for a long time - some members of this list might not even be borne when he started writiting software. And how many devs are actively strolling distribution bugzillas and mailing lists like him, looking for problems people might have with software he created or maintains? So, why not read the information on his page, google a bit, look for yourself - and admit, that Jörg is not the big evil just a little bit lacking on the 'sell my points' front. Even if he likes Solaris more like Linux. So could this fruitless near-flaming stop right here? The thread has long passed its use by date. Glück Auf, Volker -- [email protected] mailing list
