I don't think he should feel obligated to deliver. But, I think comments should generally add to the conversation. If they don't, I tend to down vote them.

- StavrosK 14y agoWell, this is a fair argument you're making, in my opinion.
- philjackson 14y agoA post about software being released happens. I made a (small) contribution to that software and mention it. It's subjective as to whether or not I added to the conversation but it's certainly relevant. You've been slightly patronising a couple of times in the thread and, ironically, you've only succeeded in starting meta-conversation.
- noahc 14y agoI agree the meta conversation is of a particularly low value, and it wasn't my intention. Unfortunately, it's towards the top too! I went back and looked for were I was slightly patronizing and the only thing I could find was this line: "So, you had two of your photos chosen for this release or no? Is that rare?" Which I can see how that could be more than slightly patronizing if it was read in a way that I hadn't intended it to be. What I was trying to say is that for a project as big as Ubuntu, having two photos chosen seems to be a big deal. I didn't realize this when I originally down voted you, and I just wanted clarity. In any case it was never my intention to be patronizing, so I'm sorry for coming across that way.
- jmilloy 14y agoYou were patronizing when you said "You should..." If you want to know what the process was, why not just ask? If you don't actually care, then just move on.
