- roell@informatik.tu-muenchen.de (Thomas Roell) flamed Amancio for writing:
- >>I am the author of XS3. Please send me your Xconfig and relax because
- >>we fixed this bug for XFree86 and ported XFree86 to 386bsd.
-
- While I have the utmost respect for Roell's contributions, I am saddened
- that he chose to flame Amancio like that.
-
- Amancio has contributed a lot to making X go under 386BSD. I exchanged
- email with him several times in the process of getting X up and he
- always gave detailed responses with amazingly short turnaround times.
-
- And I do not believe he was trying to steal credit from anyone. In the
- 386BSD world, Amancio is *the* X windows expert, at least among those
- actively posting. He created the executables almost everyone uses.
- He posted to offer help to a guy who was having an X problem
- *on 386BSD*. And that, I believe, is what he was trying to communicate --
- that he was the guy to talk to to get the problem fixed.
-
- So please, a little more kindness. We are all on the same team.
