[Opensim-users] Warning, one month Warning

[John Mieske]

Ok so let me get this straight..  since I am NOT the coder here of my
personal Sim as you put it, then I am to expect it to Fail or screw up
because the coders who you say "Own" the code ( which by that logic means
they own my sim ) can deliberately crash the sim all because of a Stupid
holiday prank ?  They deliberately put code in there to screw up EVERYONE
who has a sim that is a DEV version ?

So all those poor people who have that, which I know a lot, will get a bad
surprise ( and not all of them are even IN this group ) ..  and some who
have been trying so hard to keep it running, are going to think that
something major is wrong on that day not thinking it was all a prank and
either A.) give up, or B.) loose all their faith in opensim because of this
crap ?

I'm sorry, but does this seem right to anyone here ?  Or is this something
that all of you are in agreement with here ?
