   Unlike you, I'm not saying that the guys behind Hurd are incompetent.   
   I'm saying that we'll have to wait for a long time before being able to   
   use it for real.

   It's not the same level. With Hurd, nobody in his own mind would use it   
   in a production environment. With Wayland, a lot of people, including   
   me, are using it all the time.   
      
   And if you want to go on this path, X11, which is well older is well   
   less finished than Wayland. You can't use correctly X11 with many   
   monitors having different resolutions. And, at work, I have other issues   
   with X11 which are fixed with Wayland.   
      
   > I say, what is the fucking difference?   
      
   I already answered that. If you weren't able to understand the first   
   time, you won't be able to understand the second time.   
      
   > Why don't you contribute your talents to the completion of Wayland?   
      
   Because it's well enough finished to be used in a real day to day usage.   
   The fact that you can't use it give more information about you that   
   about Wayland. All the issues you pretend to be impossible to solve are   
   always easy to fix. But to do it I would need to help you, and I won't   
   do that willingly anymore.   
      
   > Ha, ha, ha, ha!  You have no fucking talents.  You are, like everyone   
   > else on this NB, a fucking moocher.   
      
   The fact that I have or that I haven't any talent is unrelated with the   
   possibility to use Wayland and not Hurd for real.

   > then shut your fucking mouth about Hurd or anything else.   
      
   Lead the way. As you can't contribute to anything (your website is   
   certainly not a proof of your contribution) you shut up. And then I'll   
   have no reason to correct you.
