This is addressed to all people taking part in this project and can be equally applied to any other project. The first point is: If somebody asks a direct question about openvpn (IE: --ifconfig-noexec does not work for IPv6) and provides full details including configs and logs, then this deserves a direct answer. On this occasion it took other eyes (thanks Selva) to discover why this occurred, but at no point, until I asked the specific question "What is expected behaviour", did I get a direct and clear answer. The second point is: Do not expect your audience to understand C .. or any programming language. If everybody knew as much as you about these languages then you would be in for a serious cut in pay! Among other side effects .. The third point is: If somebody asks you some convoluted question about, for example, exotic routing, and is obviously trying to get some expert help to do their own job, then feel free to answer in any way, shape or form you choose. Last but not least: If you have a particular issue with me then email me directly and we can discuss it off-list. Please try to keep the list civil and professional.
