Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 15:03:28 -0000 Ack, I'm not trying to come over as a rude person, that that has even happened has annoyed me greatly. I'm incredibly appreciative of the continued efforts of everybody involved in the RB project, I'm forever extolling the virtues of RB to everyone I speak to who's the slightest bit techy, and I'm appreciative also of the project-related forums such as this one in which we all have a chance to contribute and discuss issues at hand. I just feel that this whole emails-on-the-archive thing, it's a bit of an oversight, to be honest. I know it's not a corporate network, I didn't know you weren't "in charge" of it though (your previous emails on the matter indicated that you were in charge of the mailing list, so I came to the logical conclusion that you were the, or one of the, admins)... And, to be honest I'm a little surprised at your rather laid-back attitude towards spam. I'm a little perplexed at how you asked me to go find and submit the patches or whatever, and then when I do do a bit of searching around, find an option which would quite readily obscure addresses from the public-view of the archives, you appear (to me, at least) to become defensive and declare my attitude to be rude enough to ignore. What did I do in finding a possible workable solution to annoy you more? Personal differences, I suppose. I was surprised that the list doesn't fully protect addresses from a. nonymous viewing them on the web, I've worked very hard to keep this address (like several others I use) spam free for a long time, and it's only after the recent airings of my address on the mailing list archives (as also indicated by Google) that I've received an upsurge in junkmail. Can you see why I'm a bit miffed about all of this? It's hard to have a decent, understanding conversation about this kind of thing via email, it makes things very impersonal, and people can sometimes come over a little brash or obnoxious, certainly more than they desire to be (I hate confrontation myself, I was merely trying to discuss an issue at hand which affects everyone) and I'm sorry if you took offense at what I said. I'm not the kind of person who's prone or wont to causing unnecessary aggravation. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Stenberg [mailto:daniel_at_rockbox.org] > Sent: 21 February 2007 08:26 > To: christof_at_infinitus.co.uk; Rockbox > Subject: RE: FW: [users] Slow Monday -- No Bots? > > On Tue, 20 Feb 2007, Christopher Woods wrote: > > > If I was in charge of a corporate network, I wouldn't ask > my lusers to > > provide me with patches and bugfixes for the software > running on the > > machines, because I was the one running it I would go and > sort out any > > security problems myself, potential or otherwise. > > This is not "a corporate network", I am not "in charge" of it > and this is not a security problem. > > Your attitude sure is rude enough for me to just ignore. > > -- > Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- > http://daniel.haxx.se/ Received on 2007-02-21 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
