Well that's just great...
What about my patience as a user that no one really seems to be paying
attention to what I'm asking?
Please go back and show me in one reply where you have responded to what I'm
trying to accomplish, because you haven't and then you blame me for the run
around...
In my 6th reply I said I just chalked it up to some bug somewhere and just
reinstalled my image and got it all working the way I liked...
To be honest, I don't even think you know what I'm doing or have been
asking, because all someone has to do is simply look at someone's files to
answer this... Now that I'm starting to see some of this, I see it's not so
complicated, but I don't take claim to fame that I know everything either,
this is why I'm asking...
Please don't complain about patience when you, yourself are not paying
attention and then you on top of it as the developer should try to be
patient especially when you are not paying attention...
I come to your IRC channel in good spirit, chat, I'm being friendly and
there you also badger me and harp on me there, you and padtwk and you didn't
even get it there in the IRC channel, so I listened to you, joined the
mailing list and now you can't even handle one week of questions?
I'm sorry you're the developer and you seem to be the only one around here
answering questions, but please don't blame me for that.
Your not a kid, you're an older man that should be patient and helpful and
friendly, you're a Linux developer that people look up to and use your
product, so no I don't expect to be always getting help from the developer,
but at least since you are, the least you could do is be considerate and
show some respect as I've shown towards you...
So many times I said THANKS Tom, Thank you Tom for all your help, over and
over showing you respect and how you are appreciated and now this... :(
You know I could really understand throwing up your arms in disgust and
giving up when someone has treated you badly, or been rude and disrespectful
in anyway, but I have never once done so.
So here I am the hard working student trying my hardest and you loose
patience...
The truth is, the Policy seems to override everything as I've tried to
explain that no one seems to be getting...
