/* The ML system doesn't properly work once again. I'm subscribed to arc-discuss, but my second message hangs somewhere. This has happened frequently on opensolaris.org's lists. And I repeatedly have pointed it out long before. If it is not possible to put mb1x at gmx.com onto a "whitelist", then I will always have to send some messages twice.

Joerg Schilling has contributed a resourceful repository of free software (see his ftp site). And the other "core contributors" (including yourself) have "core_contributed" because that's their damn PAID job. Maybe *some* have also contributed *parts* of their spare time, but definitely not all of them, and not all of their spare time. So they have not core_contributed in its actual meaning, because they all are costing the system tons of money, yet make holidays and such. So then, status QUO continues ? No reason for anyone to feel attracted to this system's process ... p.s. Look how foolish parts of Sun's management behave: http://blogs.sun.com/brianc/entry/sunit_data_center_consolidation I'm watching the share price and feel sick (has fallen from $22 to $15 in just a month's time, after the share split correction trick) This message posted from opensolaris.org
