[CoLoCo] Appropriateness of posts to this list (Was Re: evince crash)

[David L. Willson]

I have yet to see Scott Kitterman's own words, except for one paragraph.  I heartily
approve of Kevin Fries, but I will not hang Scott up on one guy's words, no matter how
much I respect the guy saying the words.  I mean, maybe if it was Jim Hutchinson saying
the words, but that's only because Jim could find a way to get along with friggin'
~anybody~.

Let's bear in mind that opinion is just that, and it's tastiest when humbly put.  For my
part, I've been participating on the Ubuntu Server list for a bit, and I've seen Soren
give Hell, but only after first showing the patience of a saint.  I've read some of
Linus' flames, and I think everyone agrees that he has our best interests in mind. 
Sometimes, some Nimrod has it coming...  I don't know that this wasn't one of those times.

My nutshell opinion on the core issue:

- If I'm doing something for free, I'll tell you what I'm going to do, and you get to
take it or leave it.  If ~nobody~ wants to do what you want done, the way you want it
done, for free... you do it, or you pay somebody.  Nobody bosses volunteers, and who
does, deserves a faceful of it.

- If you're paying me to do it, you'll tell me what to do, but I still decide ~how~ to
do it.   If you want to say what ~and~ how, hire a gol-durned monkey, not me.
