Even *after* apologising for unknowingly / unintentionally annoying a
couple people , I *Really* don't understand why I'm getting bashed , but
so be it.

I am , aren't I ? duh.
I refuse to correspond on this thread any more. If you're still annoyed
with me , write to my address and cuss all that you want. I refuse to be
drawn in into any more controversies *AFTER* publicly apologising for my
mis-deeds , intentional or otherwise.
Besides the only 3 people that are/were involved , aphro/me/David Wright
sorted it out amongst ourselves. So what gives ? If some third person guy
*still* has problems with what I posted eons ago, well go ahead and bash
me on the list/personal mail - But I swear *I* wont reply *on the list*
anymore ... If any more replies *DO* go out [ highly unlikely because I
dont want to spend 1 hour per day trying to explain that it is human to
commit mistakes and apologise afterward and expect to be forgiven, to half
a million debian users across the planet. Besides *I* don't think it was
*that* major a mistake to be talked about, "wasting" the bandwidth of so
many people, and therefore *I* will *NOT* go out of the way to keep
replying saying , "Hell yeah so I made a mistake and I apologised for
it.If you're not man enough to say , 'okay this guy made a mistake and he
freaking acknowledged it , so lets leave this guy alone now' " , well ,
its not *my* problem. ]
This is *my* last mail to the entire list on this topic. Any
more cribs/complaints/brickbats - address them to <ravi at symonds dot
net> and if you actually spoke any more sense than "you're a moron than
doesn't know how to act civilized" , i might actually reply.
[ The reason I'm looking at it is this way ... if X and Y started
bickering on the list for one guy not able to settle stuff out with
another guy , *I* would be annoyed , and I'd prefer to un-subscribe from
debian-user. Therefore , looking at it in that light , I don't want to
annoy many many more people , all the while whining about how right/wrong
I was ... and causing more worries. Therefore , this is my last mail on
this thread. ]
The usage of "you" through-out this mail does *NOT* refer to the person
that posted the original mail , but in a general sense , as "any guy
that's reading this mail" .
Amen.
