I don't know the details of this work. I do know that ascribing these kinds of motives instead of asking "why" questions is a good way to get yourself written off as a hurdle instead of a resource. That later rhetoric about "sociopaths" and some of the earlier comments make it clear that input is going to be unpleasant and ultimately counterproductive. If you read back over your message, could you see the outcome being a dev going out of the way to involve you in their work? Civil, objective discussion with well-backed positions would signal that the community's going to be a resource that can make a Linden more productive in his work. Where that's the case, they would be nuts not to go to the list as soon as possible. But colored as the list has been, I know I wouldn't even want to talk more than I had to about a Snowglobe-specific change. It would just get in the way of getting things done. I'm pretty sure you've also sat in on Q's office hours more than once. What did he say when you asked about plugin decisions there? I expect he'd have answered with something other than psychopathy and conspiracy. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
