- Rick,
-
- I think you misunderstand the "chiding" that Mr Naggum has received.
- I encourage the public dissemination of any problems with software
- from the net. The thing I had a problem was the condescending tone
- of his note. References to "stupid programmers", software that
- "did incredibly stupid things...", and statements like:
- "...and I'm not going to use software written by Lutz Vieweg for
- the next decade or so,...".
-
- These are not helpful criticisms. I can understand being frustrated,
- but the network is a powerful thing, and sometimes we need to
- exercise a little self-control when dealing with our frustrations.
-
- Incidentally, it sounds to me like RFU could use some better
- argument checking.
-
- Lutz, if you're still reading this group do you think we could
- work to change this from a bloodbath into something constructive?
