First of all, I applaud your proper use of the semicolon in a sentence. As someone who should probably step away from my computer a lot more though, I've got to disagree that "it's getting late" isn't a valid excuse, because I use it all the time and I mean it when I say it (i.e. it's 4am and I have to wake up for work in 6 hours).
- oefrha 6y agoNo one’s forcing you to submit a ticket at 4am, full stop. You can do it the next day, or you can simply not do it. You’re the initiator of the interaction, and if you intentionally half-ass it you’re not respecting the other side. Not sure what that snarky (?) remark on semicolon usage was about. We’re not grade school pupils here so no point in applauding or criticizing punctuation usage; doing so only raises eyebrows.

I don't see people use semicolons properly in sentences often, or much at all outside of coding. I meant no offense, I was giving you an honest compliment.
- dumpsterdiver 6y agoHey, I also just wanted to say that I know you FOSS folks are overworked and under-appreciated, and a lot of us really do appreciate you. I know you all get bombarded with all kinds of BS all the time, and I'm thankful that my patience hasn't been tested to such an extent. Thank you.
