[slim] time out
I'm tired of the same old disputes and mudslinging; everyone is an expert and knows better than everyone else how to run a business that isn't their own. I have less and less free time, and less motivation to spend that time wading through the same old arguments. The latest rehash of forum wars is just too much for my patience. So, for now, I'm taking the only rational option, walking away. There are probably plenty of people far more capable to answer questions than I, who may even have the time and desire to tough it out. Its just too much for me right now. ttyl. -kdf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
RE: [slim] time out
Look Kevin, everyone values your input here, but if you are going to get stressed everytime something gets posted that is OT then I think you're going to get stressed out more often than not. And, no, I'm not telling SD how to run their business, but this constant forums suck comments from the already entrenched minority of users who populate this list is almost too much to bear. Obviously SD can do whatever they want, but if they (or you) are not up for a little constructive criticism then how will they cope with the real issues? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kdf Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 1:32 PM To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: [slim] time out I'm tired of the same old disputes and mudslinging; everyone is an expert and knows better than everyone else how to run a business that isn't their own.

Re: [slim] time out
I agree - your contribution to Slim Devices product development, and the support on this forum has been fantastic. It's way beyond what anyone has a right to ask of you, and you will be missed. I also hope that with a break for a while you'll feel like getting involved again - you'll be greeted heartily by the many users you've helped in the past.

RE: [slim] time out
But it should not be a big deal. As far as I can see a lot of customers are asking for a very basic facility that all of Slims competitors already offer. Why is this such an issue? -Original Message- From: kdf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 April 2005 20:32 To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: [slim] time out I'm tired of the same old disputes and mudslinging; everyone is an expert and knows better than everyone else how to run a business that isn't their own.
