Would you rather drh be writing SQLite and other software or managing MTAs and spam software? At least if he spends time writing forum and SMTP features for Fossil, he’s adding value to the world, rather than simply fighting its decay. If you say “hire it out,” where do those funds come from? Moderation delegates the workload to people who volunteer to do it, which gives drh time to do the things he’d prefer to be doing, much of which overlaps with the things we’d rather he be doing, too. Also: This list may be an unusually juicy target, given the number of places SQLite is deployed. Are you comparing apples to apples? _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
