You (plural) must be completely nuts with this "disrespectful" posture.
Does it mean that no one can say anything wrong against your beloved
system? Or ask tough questions?

Oh, there you are... meritocracy, reputation, etc. The rest are only
bunch of hooligans and should keep their mouth shut. Oh, I see... Not
that I open my eyes today, far from that. This rotten f*** posture of
yours can be seen from the beginning of my presence on the mailing list.

The very few supporting views in former round of "discussion" (tphu...
(a sound of spitting)) were quickly drowned by your moralizing fracas.

And I am very thankful to him for that. He still answers my questions
contrary to most of you - "everlasting", "skilled", and "highly
educated" (in applied psychology) users.

As I said umpteen times I'm not programmer. But thanks for your
explanation. I only wanted to know if there was a "body" which steers
development of NetBSD and whether they pay attention to desktop
users as well. I cannot believe that NetBSD developers think only about
drivers to new network cards or storage devices.

One simple question and all the pandemonium with personal jaunts
against me.

Well, don't do me this Mark, ee..., buuu... (weeping).
