Sure, you do not need to contribute.
But then don't demean and deminish the work of people who do the work you dont have the time or the inclination to do, and then share the proceeds of their work with you, for free.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. This right here makes it feel like anyone who has a complaint had best be willing to step up and maintain things. Just last night when I told someone to make a complaint about how slow the kernels were being released, I was met with the reply "And be told to contribute? No thanks". I am not at all demeaning anything by complaining about how things are going. If every time someone has a complaint, you're just going to tell them to contribute, eventually people are just going to stop making complaints. I have seen this first hand.
That doesn't mean your posts are not welcome, but consider the tone and the content of your posts and ensure they convey the feelings and respect you wish to the volunteers you are dependant on.
I'm sorry, but my tone was not rude or demanding. I simply was letting y'all know how frustrated something like this makes me.
Sorry to burst your bubble and pour cold water on your enflamed passions, but this isn't opensuse-therapy@opensuse.org
This is a technical mailinglist, for the technical people building openSUSE, who are motivated by their own reasons to contribute to spend their spare time doing stuff in openSUSE.
If your frustration is not enough to motivate you to contribute, then how is it remotely logical to expect your frustration to be enough to motivate a stranger?
Your frustration is irrelevant to the vast majority of the people here.
No, it is not. :-/ I¡'ll ignore the rest. Now you have frustrated me as well. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
