Fix your broken mail client or never quote me again on this list. I dont wish to get more spam in my mailbox.
What is broken in my mailer?
None of the above adjectives is, in truth, correct. The project is fairly well organized, with specific teams and team leaders in charge of specific areas, there is a QA group, a security group, and so on,
Did you read my post completely? Especially the part at the end? Its obvious that you have not read it. I am not going to sit and explain it because I dont want to do it 5 times to make you understand it. Its something called as satire...
I did read the part where you tried to explain how your insults were all a joke, tee-hee. I found it less than compelling.
FYKI, Linux has always been perceived as a hobby OS, a Toy OS. Nothing big, nothing real. It has been perceived as being created by thousands of people in a very disorganized manner ( as compared to the traditional cathedral model. Have you read Cathedral and the Bazaar for that matter? ). Despite all these facts, Linux was adopted by <INSERT YOUR FAVORITE COMPANY HERE EXCEPT M$> and its generating billions of dollars of revenue and its being used in all conceivable fields. Not bad for a toy OS, eh? :P
I have no idea who thought of Linux, and the brethren free BSD based UNIX operating systems as a Toy. The circles I move in, the phrase is used to describe Windows, and not UNIX and clones.
BTW, adding a smiley after insults does not abrogate the rudeness; and no, I do not find denigrating other people and their work to be funny.
Obviously, everyone doesn't have a sense of humor or has a poor understanding of the subject. Both type of people must refrain from replying without fully understanding the poster's point or else they shall make a fool of themselves in front of 700 odd people.
I suppose I must be one of those who has a poor understanding of Linux and operating systems in general. I am looking forward to being enlightened.
