How is this relevant to the technical issue at hand. You should
explain what has been asked and not yourself.

If emotion is strange to you, please try to stay more technical. lots
of nerds here - no problem. or give it some time, maybe you can open
up when you cease reacting so fast and negatively to everything that
seems new to you.

I'm sure you can make very long lists of things you're uninterested
in. But can you try to limit your talking points to things that
wouldn't be on such list?

No worries, it is your reasoning, not your motivation that is at question here.
It might give an unjustified bad impression based solely on your error
of judgement.

9legacy already includes lots of 9front patches, and 9front includes
patches that have appeared before on mailinglists or 9legacy. Patches
are shared regularly, even though activity on 9front is much higher in
general.

The projects are all joined by a common history, and anybody who
doesn't like change is free to never pull from any of the forks,
mailinglists, or patch repositories.

I don't see how you being a dude is relevant on the internet.

A play on rabbit hole -> glenda lair?
Also, these are the kind of promises that you should be making to
yourself, not to us.

This is not some beauty contest.

I'm extremely glad for you having such non-computer hobbies, and I
will always endorse people to seek out for that in their lives.

Why disagree with something that has never been suggested or implied
or thought of or done?

> Who cares?

Are you implying you don't? Then why ask?

> Live your life, man.

So far I believe we are in compliance.
