- I've noticed the same thing. I've been following this group for quite
- a while now, and each day it becomes less and less enjoyable to read.
- (Not a gripe; an acknowledgement) Hmm... Enjoyable. Seems to me this
- is the very quality that attracted me to Linux. Are we perhaps drifting
- from this essence, folks?
-
- I don't [at least yet] intend on "throwing in the towell," nor am I
- under some delusion that "the group would be lost" without me. But
- sooner or later, the people who we /would/ be lost without will be
- gone. Why should they waste all their spare time to wade through a
- bunch of this garbage (this letter included; I regret that I feel
- driven to write it) ?
-
- Why don't we all get a clue and be grateful for what we have
- here: it's quite a fucking bit, and it seems to me we're getting a
- little too greedy.
-
- Just MY worthless, frustrated two damn cents...
-
- Jim.
