Yeah i'll be unsubscribing from this mailing list after reading this
particular topic. This is a community bent on some form of elitism for
god knows what purpose. Justify it how you may, I feel repulsed by
people's responses here.

I'm not agreeing with the opening poster or his methods, but lets
break down some people here:

Dave Hall - A person who clearly never ever considered ever helping
out on this project went on to criticize it. Why? God knows. He found
points he didn't like and made them out to be critical flaws. If the
conditions don't suit you, just don't do it. You don't need to go on
some self gratified justification about how much better your time is
worth then contributing. And he snidely ends in "good luck".

Bwright - A person who never considered ever helping out, but still
felt like his opinion on the project was somehow necessary too. He
then puts words in the mouth of the opening poster, interpreting
whatever he felt like to help justify his position on the matter. He
also suggests that the poster is arrogant, but I'm not so sure he read
what he wrote. The same could be easily said to him. Although
ignorance is probably what I'd choose. There's a lot of work in
creating a distribution. I'm not so sure it's something that you'd
make yourself and then ask for help. Rather it's something you look
for people of similar interest and gauge the viability of it as a
project. Your contribution to the linux community I can see is about
as deep as a few posts a week on a public forum. As a member of the
linux community, i thank you for your generous time in using the
community's product.

Aryan - A incredibly insightful person who is more than happy enough
to get caught up over grammer and spelling rather then contribute
meaningfully to the topic. While criticizing the opening poster, i
wonder if he himself considered whether or not his time was actually
assisting or not.


Anyway i know i havn't exactly given a lot so you're probably not sad
to see me go, but on the other hand I feel terrible about sharing the
good word about ubuntu and suggesting to others to join in, even so
far as to install it on both parents PC's and laptops, my significant
others laptop and several friends PCs. I'm loathe to think about them
becoming involved in this community, which has a superior "apple"
feeling.
