With that said, I will try and keep that in mind in the future. But one must
also remember that there is a specific list for development so those who
post dev stuff here should (I'm not singling anyone out) also take into
account the concept above and realize that there may be people here who
don't want to read through development stuff. I for one don't care about dev
stuff being posted here because I like to know what's going on. I also
subscribe to the development mailing list too.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Most of the BeOS resources (be it
forums, websites, lists, whatever) are either dead or very inactive. So
really for someone like me who has recently taken interest in the
Haiku/BeOS/Zeta world there really isn't anywhere to turn but here, #haiku,
the website and a couple other sites like haikuware and bebits. I find
posting on the website normally doesn't result in many responses and
sometimes none at all (or you have to wait a week or two to get an answer).

Anyway my intent with the original message was not to offend anyone and I
apologize if I did so.
