Everyone is free to have an opinion. Sockets extensions are not
braindead nor created using whatever methods you envision. The
extensions were created by Sockets engineers with 20+ years
experience. But, hey, why put any faith into people who develop and
implement Sockets for a living? One day perhaps you'll learn a bit
of professionalism and perhaps open your mind that there are people out
in the world besides yourself you don't take a NIH approach to the world
and are actually qualified engineers who have a clue. All you get
with these constant unprofessional diatribes is a continual loss in
credibility. But, hey, that is just an opinion.<br><br>
BTW, do you feel the same way about the people who created IB? How
about iWARP? How about PCIe? Are all of the engineers who
work on trying to accelerate technology, its performance, etc. who take
into account and try to find a balanced approach to problem solving
simply all in dark little rooms? All of these specs are created by
companies. Those same companies who fund open source efforts and many of
the people working here. <br><br>
One last thing, I'm not the only person who feels this way about your
unprofessional behavior. There are many others who have simply
don't want to bother writing or have simply written you off as
whatever. Sad state to be in and I suspect you don't care since you
view them all as in dark little rooms anyway. Just something you
might want to keep in mind. There is a much larger world out there
where people value other people's professional opinions and ideas.
They don't simply discount what they produce because it was not done in
whatever form you prefer. It is called reality. Get used to
it.<br><br>
