Think what you want. I've finished my argumentation a lot messages ago (and it was useless). This is not to defend my posture anymore, just a criticism that Alan for sure won't take into account because he's perfect, but it isn't a fallacy. If you aren't going to add further useful information to solve the conflict please remain silent, for your ironical message does only contribute to your own ego.
Finished, yet still talking. Thank you, I hadn't thought about my ego. I guess it is bigger now, ooo and shiny!
As to content, I agree with alan (small A). I don't need fluff in the debug output. It is hard enough to get new users to read the whole thing (read the list for a couple weeks). Follow the instructions and it works. If you don't like the instructions, stop complaining and submit patches. I don't know that Alan has rejected any documentation related patches.
I like the fact that he rejects software patches that don't make sense or are for a very limited audience. It makes a smaller, more stable, and less confusing product.
Show me another product, open or closed, that has an open forum like this and posts from the main dev make up almost 20% of the traffic (as of this morning, 18.5% since Jan 1, 2005 2307/12448). I deal with several commercial vendors, and most of the time the actual devs are walled off behind several layers of CS and TS levels and are all but impossible to talk to.
Ok. Lets make peace, I got out of my mind. It's just that Alan doesn't seem to reply very friendly sometimes, I don't wanna fight anymore. Not my intention at all. In the future I wont complain without submitting patches and please don't mock me anymore cause I was at least being respectful (till some point of the thread).
