That attitude, were it viral, would ensure things don't get done. I think
you need a thicker skin, as these are just emails, and evolt.org has
survived stronger discussions than this. If you want to contribute, do so,
but do so in a constructive and learned manner, don't just dive in and
assume a lot of stuff.
There is an admittedly huge corpus of knowledge in theforum's archive which
needs to be grokked in order to not have to assume stuff, but a cursory
glance over the most recent stuff should have sufficed, and would have
probably led to a lot less stick than you've endured the last few days for
some misplaced comments.
Stick around - I for one want this new box to go live sooner rather than
later so that I can hack on a new backend for beo and get our own nameserver
up and running (amongst other stuff).
