Sir, you need to evaluate how you treat others in the development
community,
or soon you won't have a development community left.
I agree that it happens maybe a bit too often that the Cocoa dev
community first takes the route of criticising the design decision of
the developer before trying to help find an immediate solution to the
question. However, in many cases that is a warranted first step. My
message did acknowledge that in rare cases there could be a need for
something like you were looking for, but in the majority of cases it is
not. I may also have assumed that you would like your application to
run on Panther once it is released within a few weeks to a few months
now...
Furthermore, I would like to point out that I consciously chose to
respond to Mr Farmsworth in private, because of his blatant flamebait.
I found that his message was long out of line. Discussing it in detail
here on the list is not desirable, especially not now, after the
list-mom stepped in.
Last commend: When asking for advice on a public mailing list, staffed
with developers who are not paid to participate, you have to stand that
people will first make sure that you made your homework and have your
design well thought-out. That you aren't just using the list as a
replacement for reading the documentation. This scrutiny may even help
you look over your design decisions from a different perspective. If
you don't want to "waste time" describing exactly why you have that
exact requirement, then there is no reason why we would want to "waste
time" trying to help you.
I would have loved to keep this conversation too out of the list, but
Farnsworth's decision to repost my message to the list, prompts a
reply.
