Again, hatefilled posts are not helping. Most probably you don't realize
how bad your posts look. Again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,
so maybe for some other LAU denizens those very same posts are great. It
takes all kinds...

I did. I don't think I got through all the posts, but I read more than
enough. Stupid attitude. You are doing _harm_, and probably making the
task of people that will have to interface with RME in the future
harder.

That is true.
Perhaps you should :) The
latest hatefilled posts on the RME list about the ALSA driver issue are
surely not helpful
Saying nothing is *never* helpful. Showing your dissatisfaction at least *sometimes*
helps. We'll see.
[disclaimer: I have not read the posts] I think you
are missing the point, whether intentionally or not I don't
know. Hatefilled posts are not going to help. Normal posts will.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding (if so, ignore the rest), but you seem to
think hate filled posts are just fine, right? If that's true, this would
be the time for me to say something rude so that you change your mind,
right? If enough of us post hate filled responses you are going to agree
with whatever we say? I think not...
I think i clarified it in my previous posts. What you're talking about
is a different relationship. We're talking about a vendor vs. customer
relationship in which case if the number of unsatisfied customers
bi@#$^ng about your product grows, you have to take adequate action no
matter how much they're hurting your ego. Becasue sometimes there
*might* be a valid reason for that. ;)
That said i think it's silly to argue about that here. We have lost two
main specs providers. Not because of hatefilled posts. That was the
consequence. In my eyes a very valid one. In your case perhaps not. But
it's for the interest of *everyone* here. So i think the more of us
agree the more strength we can show to everybody out there, instead of
arguing whether to beg or be more proud(no offense, my POV).
No offence taken, of course. I don't expect you to understand there is a
difference between begging and asking, between showing strength and
bullying, between talking and shouting....
You don't herd cats (or linux penguins), they go where they like to go.
