Re: [Sheflug] Organisation of Sheflug



	Perhaps we should total up all the effort that Richard does for the group, 
his own work and his financial outlays. Relate this, to say a man and wife  
situation and you often find the marriage breaks down. Hence the falling out 
between some the members of the list. Could it be, that Richard has being 
doing so much that he is under a lot of stress and lashes out at times before 
he has had time to think and then doesn't want to backtrack for the sake of 
losing credibility of his previous posts. I have many people at work who are 
under pressure due to new legislation and rules which are being altered all 
the time. They often lash-out but are in the main good workers. I have to use 
a lot of mental reasoning with them at times but it all works out at the end.

	Richard has written  complaining about posts I have sent to the list (about 
three times, twice on the list and once to me directly). On this occassion I 
wrote back to him personally, explained that I had made errors due to 
pressures I was under (what they were in brief) and that I had chosen the 
wrong time of day to send my post, i.e. while I was under those pressures. In 
return I received another personal email back which was very polite, curtious 
and with a little friendly humor attached to my situation. 
	With James helping out, a lot of the pressure that Richard is under should 
diminish, e.g. Richard under pressure is probably falling into the trap of 
the proverbal laymans saying, "I can't be ars*d with that, or him etc".

	We have a manager at work who reacts nastily to people but by god, he does 
work and gets results. No suggestion there about getting rid of him.

	Sorry for the ramblings of my mind everyone.

I think you have summed things up very nicely there. As a married man 
and a IT manager I can see your point exactly :-)

Lets hope we can put this situation to rest without leaving too many bad 
feelings and get on with the interesting Linux stuff that we all want to 
talk about.



Regards



James
