Re: Cooperation (Was: Re: News Flash: Resignation of Executive Board members, delink of zucchini.fl.us.blitzed.org)

I personally think that this damage, if it really is serious can be
reversed.
I would like to think that I am at least trying to make a contribution
that I can make.

I think that if everyone just cooled off for a few days then it will all
be ok.
However, the whole ircd update thing (as I understand it) is a bit
excessive.

I think the way it was handled probably averted some network problems.
The outcome isnt that great, but in the end it will all be ok.

Lets all cheer up!  all this talk of splitting up and stuff is
counter-productive.
Let us all move on, get over our problems and keep trucking.

The sooner all this is over with the sooner we can get some needed work
done.
(ircd, services, other network software, ect.... my contribution :P)

Have a nice evening everyone, its friday night and im sure that a lot of
you are
heading out for a beer.
I know I am. :D
