This is an unkind insult. I am defending my dissertation on Monday,
so I have more than enough to do right now. That's something quite
important to me, and I am taking time away from that to make a
passionate case for something else that I believe in. I've also spent
a reasonable amount of time on Debian over the past few weeks, but I
prefer humility, so I won't drone on about that.
Anyway, deployment of an abusive ad hominem is generally seen as a
concession of the argument to the opposing side of the discussion, so
I think that puts a rather sour note and an end to this particularly
unproductive sub-thread.
Best wishes,
Mike
