I was out and about looking for nscd related information and found this thread. I really did not come away with any new information but was dissappointed to see the way the lead developers interact with the community. Granted they’ve got a lot on their plate and they may be doing some serious development, but developers seem to forget the meaning of the word community. The fact that Ulrich took the time to respond is great. But if you’re gonna do it, do it with a sense of purpose and show some common courtesy to people in the community. Your time is no more valuable than the guy asking the question. 

Electronic communications are very impersonal and most times, what you write cannot convey how you wanted to say it, unless it is re-read before hitting Send.  My first impressions were same as Petter’s - “Do I really want to offer my time to this community ?”
