[Xastir-Dev] Re: [ 745577 ] Master bug report: download statistics innacuracies (fwd)

[Curt Mills]

In case my account gets yanked from SourceForge, you'll know who I
pissed off and why.  This guy is the quality of service manager for
SourceForge.

This SourceForge bug report has to do with download statistics not
being reported correctly for a lot of projects.

I read it again this morning, where he called 3 or 4 of us rude for
posting to that thread, but now that I looked for it again (to
verify his job title), his last comment is gone.  Deleted.  History
has been re-written.

I'm not being a whiner, I'm just letting you know what's going on
behind the scenes.  It's interesting at times.

I posted recently to that bug report.  You called me and others
"rude" for doing so.  A certain level of professionalism is called
for here.

Please re-read your postings to that bug report again.  There's
plenty of room for gray area in the information posted to that
thread (before your last post).

It was clear that you'd collected enough data on projects that had
reported the problem, but not clear whether you had collected enough
data to cover _all_ projects that might experience that problem.  I
was covering all bases by posting a note about a project I cared
about that had not previously reported that problem.

Please consider removing put-downs from your posts, and try to
understand what information users might glean from your earlier
posts to that thread.  I'm sure you have a clear understanding of
what is happening on this bug, but it wasn't conveyed to the users
in a clear manner.  Calling us rude isn't fair, and I take offense
to that.
