Hey @Areba, I know am not selfish. IMHO, If only I understood my suggestions on list would bring out inferiority complexes in some way rather than purpose filled focuses, I honestly would have avoided putting such suggestions/comments on list. It's absurd and ridiculous to have read the kind of responses from fellow technologists, I could understand if a lay person would share such, but technologists? No, I think the level that some of the remarks stooped to were totally uncalled for. I agree with you that everyone is learning, so which in theory that learning process should make the list even more tech-savvy and dynamic but is it?. The issue of the "software" has been resolved, I could be least bothered about a sector that purely exists because of recycled software/scripts and the convenience of search engines rather than actually being knowledge based. If the situation was different, the responses and the level of discussions would be very different and much more pro-discussion. Because we will not agree due to our various thought cultures, it is not possible for us to agree that we need to move things to the next levels. Until that happens, I see no more reason to try and engage on any discussion. Really for me it is very boring as I've written many times about such.
Ill be honest with you @aki, youre SELFISH. You seem to be propagating a certain elitist view that the only true developers / engineers / techies ought to be doing this, or not doing that. IMHO, the dynamic nature of the members on this list is what makes skunkworks thrive. By villifying non <original> software as per youre definition, you scare away someone genuinely interested in learning. Remember it is all about the LEARNING process.Think back at those teachers you have had in life, look at the good ones and the bad ones, then just check your sent messages and do a to:skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke then just ask yourself, would these posts make me a good teacher?
