The only person I have ever dealt with that knows how to respond like an adult is Mary, "the only person".
This is mary, I am fickle & decided to use my middle name janet, you know us ladies, a new handbag every week. I hope you do not mind my comments below, they are well intended.
I will take your comment about me as being serious (rather than sarcastic), as there have been a few people who are less than happy with my approach to answering questions.
Bhay3s, I hope I can defuse your emotional & mental upset.
Stefano's answer is commonly how that all important question "When will the next sme be released" is answered.
Your reaction is an "over reaction" & I would ask you to cool down.
It was just a light hearted answer, as no one really knows when sme9 will be ready. The sme server project runs on volunteer effort & the development & other tasks will be completed when volunteers come forward & do them, there is no timeline or deadline, as no one can force volunteers to do the work.
I have observed for over 10 years in these forums that people often misinterpret the intent or meaning of another persons post, & on many occasions "take offence" where there was no offence ever meant or intended. People are from different language, racial & cultural backgrounds, & what is seemingly innocent & harmless words in one country, can be taken to be offensive in another country, and remember this is only how the words are interpreted by the reader, as the orginal poster never meant to offend anyone. Note also the original poster has no knowledge that certain words or phrases or styles of answering are or would be offensive, as to them the words are simple & have a plain meaning eg "The software will be ready when it is ready", and if you want a longer description of what that means then read the sentence again in order to emphasize the original comment, "I am really really saying that the software will be ready when it is ready", for the reasons given above.
So please cool down & do not become emotional, try to understand why the poster wrote what they wrote, rather than blowing your steam valve automatically because you felt offended.
There is absolutely no need whatsoever for you to chastise stefano the way you have or to judge sme & it's supporters the way you have.
A small apology from you would be appropriate eg "Sorry I misunderstood your answer due to language & cultural differences".
The world needs to be a more mellow place & humans must interact more politely towards each other, no one wants a world war 3 just because we misunderstood what the other person said.
Each of us individually must contribute to peace, & it starts on a personal level of interaction between our fellow human beings no matter what they say or do or where they are from.
