Kyle,

I was not responding directly to you, my e-mail was quite general and the
intention was to avoid the impression that I was "attacking" someone in
particular.

I have never noted a comment by you against one of the Tunes objectives;
for others that's not true and these others are even *members*. My rationale
is that does not make sense to be part of a project of which you (in
general,
*not* you, Kyle) do not share the objectives.

My was a rhetorical question! The part that you don't cite makes
it clear:

Or do you think that our answers are so different?

No Kyle, sorry but your observations are really partial. Have a look
at this Cliki node:

  http://cliki.tunes.org/Microkernel#debate

This is emblematic of a general trend: people come and comment about
this project, treating us as incompetent idiots, after reading a tiny
part of documentation, if at all. This "background noise" is really
annoying.

This enough for now.


Best regards.
