Well, no, really, you should.
*Expecting* (as though it is your right that somebody must submit to)
somebody answer your messages on your timescale for free is retarded.
Good thing I didn't do that then, huh? I would have liked an answer, or
a welcome to the list, or a simple "I don't know". Any message would have
been great. But nooooooooooooooooo, you only have time for recriminations.
I simply sent out a message that I wasn't sure was getting thru. Perhaps
I should have assumed it was, but ANY email reply would have told me what
the status was. Tim G. was gracious enough to do so. Why couldn't Rob
(or you) do the same? He took more time to bitch at me, as are you, than
it would have taken less time to simply reply.
My expectations were such that I was going to converse with technical folks
that enjoy working with MediaWiki, not a with couple of beaureaucrats more
concerned with being the boss of the Email List and lecturing on how to
use email and email lists I've been using since 1980.
But you go ahead and believe that you know what I'm thinking.
What am I thinking now?
