I can certainly understand that you would find that discouraging, and I'm disappointed that any DD would make such a comment. I know you've butted heads with a number of developers in the past, and have done so in a way that has left many with doubts about your ability to play well with others in the project; still, I think it's inappropriate for a developer to prejudge your ability to reform/prove yourself (or is it the DAM's ability to make impartial decisions or give people a second chance that they're prejudging?!) in such a manner. The least anyone making such comments owes you is to explain what they think you need to change in order to give yourself a decent chance. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
