Ah, so I don't need to tell you what Jens Axboe and Andre Hedrick said then. Good.
Could you tell the rest of us? Those two aren't exactly known for their diplomacy :)
That it's completely ridicules of course. They didn't say "The poster should stick to polishing tables at McDonalds" or anything like that because they are both very nice people but if I were posting from a non-SuSE address I might try to come up with some sort of witty remark like that. Oh well,
Oooo, nasty jab from Suse themselves.
Does everyone see this?
Remember, in this, I was attacked with no provocation.
I earnestly and specifically laid out an innovative (tho tested) idea, and
specifically noted that I expected flames. I did this, not for monetary
gain, and not to gain fans (as some here do), but to
*simply*help*at*least*a*few*people*out*there*. Suse doesn't recognise it, but
this will help them too.
And I was received like I was trying to overthrow the government.
As expected:
Michael Nelson:
"You certainly have an active imagination."
Matthew Johnson
Suggested I go to the 'baloney-detection site'.
Matthew Johnson:
"Are you talking about "Pixie Dust" here?"
Greg Hicks:
"(You) go around spewing nonsense and then not back it up. If you are so self
righteous as to come forward with this sort of drivel then you should at
least provide links to sites that provide a little support to your wild
claims.
Anon. Coward =Anonymous Coward = Afraid to even prove who he is"
{dumbass}
And several much more nasty attacks, BEFORE I stood up for myself.
This seems to be a sick climate, which discourages the really talented ones
who are first to be injured when sideswiped by a bully. Then we lose them.
And we are all much poorer for it.
I have said that I recognize I am not conforming to the rigid orthodoxy. And
you know what I mean. We are actually in the majority here.
So I'd like to ask everyone this: If three months from now, you find my
suggestion helpful, or at least not harmful, please remember what
