Sigh, here we go again with Eli ...

Eli, we all know you are or once were a significant contributor to
DJGPP, who should know much about DJGPP's internals.  However, you
eventually respond this way to *EVERYBODY* ...  Usually, someone spends
an immense amount of time understanding a complicated issue for which
there is no documentation, only for you to say it doesn't work that
way in DJGPP without any further explanation of why it doesn't, or you
rudely ask them if they're sure after they just spent a huge amount of
time understanding the issue.  So, everybody gets angry with you ...
What did you expect to happen?  You then blame the other person for
being angry with you or for being rude, and then you insist you were
just attempting to help, or to help the other person understand an
issue they now know extra-thoroughly.  From my recollection, just
about everyone who has conversed with you for more than a post or
two becomes angry with you.  Given that so many people here have been
angered by you in about the _decade_ I've been reading and posting
here, have you even remotely considered that it's your response to or
perception of others which is abnormal?  ...  D.J. and Charles seem
to be the only people who haven't taken offense at one time or another
to you in all that time, but you don't respond that way to them, even
when D.J. has no knowledge of the issue at hand.

HTH,


Rod Pemberton
