 don't be flippant, because in this case it's very hypocritical.  if
you recall correctly, when you were asked for the schematics back (the
ones that i'd worked on to add the RTL8201CP circuit to), you were
reluctant to provide them.  when pressed, you stated that you did not
want to be under time pressure.  when asked "ok, then let someone else
do the work, i'll find someone else, please could you provide the
schematics worked on so far", you stated, and i quote "i do not wish
to be associated with a failed project".

 so against this background, you stating that there should be less "i"
and "me" within a few minutes of stating that you would like to see
"more community and less ego" is extremely hypocritical.

 worse than that, i've seen what you're doing on the IRC channel as
well as here on the mailing list, and far from contributing to the
project, you're beginning to aggravate it.

 i've given you ample opportunity to make up for this by letting
everyone know that you'd like to contribute something to the project,
but you've ignored every single opportunity (including another one in
the past hour) and have instead focussed on making this about
"personal issues", and anything *other* than the goal.

 it is almost as if you want to destroy the project.

 there *are* no "personal issues".  there is a goal, the goal will be
achieved.  it's very very simple.

 anyway.  as the person who has to step in and make sure that the
project stays on track and ensure that issues which aggravate the goal
are resolved one way or another, i'll let you think about this.  you
also might like to consider apologising to everyone that you've let
down.
