[bf1942] Linux server and problems with objects.

[Damon]

Dear John

<snip>
I think most of us condsider this a general Linux bf1942 discussion list
</snip>
Which is probably why you are getting the complaints, this is a server
development list, not a general enquirey list.

<snip>
Of course it is beta software. How does beta software get better? By
reporting the bugs to those that can do something about it.
<snip>
And the bug you are reporting here.. is..?

<snip>
About the only email that annoys me on here is the constant sniping about
"spam". Please just put a sock in it, people, or leave.
</snip>
You mean like you could have put a sock in this one? Where is the dev query?
Its got nothing to do with development at all, its just a bunch of YOUR
feelings/thoughts youve stacked together and is meaningless to anyone else
but yourself.

<snip>
it's NOT all that high-volume, and nearly every email is of use to
*someone*.
<snip>
NO, its not THAT high volume, i guess i could delete/filter out all that
spam... but..  Why should i?
And to whom is your email of use to?

John... If you find this reply annoying/shocking in anyway way, if you dont
like mails moaning about spam, you should do the following;
1)Unsubscribe from the list using the following format;
To remove your address from the list, just send a message to
the address in the ``List-Unsubscribe'' header of any list
message. If you haven't changed addresses since subscribing,
you can also send a message to:
   <bf1942-unsubscribe at icculus.org>

2)Join a forum where other kiddies can enjoy your spam.

Thanks
-D

He spent a lot of time writing a detailed report on what idiosyncracies DC
has with Linux server. I think it's useful information, and it might be
helpful to the Dice folks in looking for issues.

I'm getting a little sick of the snarkiness on this email list. Despite your
complaints, it's NOT all that high-volume, and nearly every email is of use
to *someone*.

Of course it is beta software. How does beta software get better? By
reporting the bugs to those that can do something about it.

If y'all don't like the traffic on the list, then do something about it,
work towards getting a LinuxDed-Announce list up and you won't have to read
other traffic. Otherwise, I think most of us condsider this a general Linux
bf1942 discussion list, and that email was perfectly on topic.

About the only email that annoys me on here is the constant sniping about
"spam". Please just put a sock in it, people, or leave.
