Re: DNS servers
Before I will start defending Craig, I would like to point out that the
discussion is NOT just about taste. The boat left, and you weren't on
it. It's about how the software is build up, what is put in to the package,
and why the hell people have to think that they are better then the rest by
non-quoting, non-reading, and displaying these featurs in a obnoxious way
by thinking they have a point.
We got 2 packs here, djbdns and bind. The first obnoxious part I'm reffering
to is the attitude of the maintainer, and the "crew" building the djbdns
pack.
The second part I find extremly irritating is the amount of people
getting exited by words on their screen, telling them it's way better,
fantastic to work with etc..etc..
And as you have seen I havn't even referred to any technical spec what so
ever wich was/is in debate right now.
IMO this discussie went astray when the "quoting" started. If you start
ripping pieces of text apart, and start quoting what you please, you're
you have missed the context and the point. With this said, I stand with Craig
for the full 100%, and would love to see some improvements. I might not be
the best Sysadmin to go in to a discussion on the specs, but I sure as hell
know when people are screwing with each other.
The reason I singned up for this was to enjoy the occasional flamewar, get a
bit of info, and try to add a bit where I could. Strange huh.. a friggn'
rookie opening his mouth, asking politly to not piss each other of by
manipulating words.
