Heh. I'm not laughing at you. And I don't really think it is
appropriate. But a couple of the Evolution hackers are known to be
quite ... emmm ... "testy", fejj and notzed in particular. I think most
people who deal with the evo hackers just learn to ignore it after a
while, mostly because both fejj and notzed are such major talents and do
such incredible work on evo. It seems odd because both work for a fairly
major company, Novell, and you wouldn't normally expect that from a big
corporation, but I think Novell is at pains to retain the open source
ethos and style of the people they acquired from Ximian and SUSE, and I
guess that includes the sometimes inflammatory nature of some of the
exchanges in bugzilla and mailing lists. I'd just bite my tongue and
ignore it if I were you.

Best, Darren
