Yeah, it's real easy to dismiss somebody like that. Except that I wasn't talking about me at all (I *never* mix up "I" and "we"). > I've been involved in some other free software > projects, this is not the first time I do something in > this world, and I know how some of them work.

I cannot stress this point enough: If you are looking for "friendly" or "gratitude" or "respect" or "ego gratification" - LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE. This is the place to look for (ironically) extreme equalitarianism - everything you say or do will be dispassionately analysed without regard for who you are or what you have done in the past. Everything stands or falls on its own merits. I am seriously disturbed by the notion that you interpret it as "dark and awful". That's a strong suggestion that you have the wrong outlook to survive in Debian. "Inevitably necessary and not a big deal" is how I would describe it. > BTW, I haven't answered to all the threads I wanted in > the list to avoid making it a noisy one, and to avoid > redundant answers, but I do share most of Carla's > points of view.
