Getting an account to be countedGetting an account to be countedPosted Nov 9, 2008 21:00 UTC (Sun) by zotz (guest, #26117)In reply to: Getting an account to be counted by farnz Parent article: Is Smolt the Key to Counting Linux Users? (InternetNews)
To jump in where I am perhaps not wanted, and to comment from an impression and not a careful reading.
I think you haven't quite got his point yet.
I think he is saying that the way it worked for him is DIFFERENT to the way it worked for you and this led him to think you were guessing at how it would work rather than describing your experience.
He then suggests that had you come back and told him that your description was your actual experience which for some reason did not match his then he might have picked up on this.
He also admits that none of this is an excuse, which to me is an admission that he sees himself as in the wrong, but is just by way of explanation, which to me is a request for you to go a bit easier on him now that he admits to being wrong.
Anyway, enough from me on that.
I have been in the linux counter for years. I am conflicted in my desire to be counted. I end up semi counted and not keeping my machine counts up to date.
all the best,
drew

Drew,
I owe you my belated thanks. Reading his (franz)last message, I had a sense of futility, hence, my thoughts were only on how to walk away from this exchange. That is, either by silence or by a final terse note attempting again to state my experience and intent. However, your summary showed I spoke with sufficient clarity to be understood. I thank you for simply taking the time to restate my message.
