Karym,
I thought I would never participate in this or any other
discussion in this list that was not purely technical. After
all, I've been even told (in private email) "DO NOT GO ON
IN SAYING LIES, OTHERWISE I'LL KICK YOUR ASS" And that was
not said in a joke. However, as I told Stuart before, I
just can't see/hear something wrong without pointing it out.
So here goes my 1/2cent ...
You give us three options to answer your question, but like
other people in this list, you are blind to the obvious truth.
Take a look at the last 100 messages in the list and count
the number of messages that fall in any of the three options
you gave us. And then, count the number of messages that fall
in the following category:
D) A waste of everybody's time discussing non-technical
issues; offending other people; making vain accusations;
showing off; defending one's own ego; pretending you
know a subject in which you have no formal background;
and trying to make it all look noble and worthy of words
such as "unification", "for the good of the OSS/RTOS", etc.
THAT is what this list is really about!
The solution? Kill the weed at its root! Split the list.
