Hi Anand,
I just read your post to debian-devel, and here is something that you
should keep in mind when criticizing volunteers who spend a lot of their
personal time doing a thankless job:
- Don't slag them off in public. A personal e-mail does
just as much good, as is a lot easier for the individual to
swallow than public abuse.
In particular, it is obvious to me that you have not taken into account
the size of audience of debian-devel. It is a widely read technical
list, not a place for you to trash other people's work. Your comments
have just given people a negative impression of Anand Kumria.
Perhaps, with your own funds and time, it would be useful for you to
take a course in dealing effectively with other people.

PS For those of you who haven't read the article, the "slagging of the press"
is this:
Asked about recent news reports sourced from his blog, Mr Schulze said
there was nothing wrong in principle with using blogs as a source.
"Sensationalist stories, however, always have the problem that they're
often more sensationalist than useful or true," he said.
Hardly out of line, IMO.
