What?! When did I disrespect other people's contributions? git.git is what it is today because of everyone's contributions: if I disrespected them, why would I work on improving git?
My opinion has nothing to do with me, or my contributions. I have already stated multiple times on the list that I take no pride in my contributions whatsoever*: I have no ego to speak of. I said "the opinions of inactive community members and non-contributors are less useful [than those of active contributors]", and I'm still scratching my head over what you inferred. Do you think that the opinions of inactive community members and non-contributors are _more_ valuable than those of active contributors, or am I missing something?
* You'd know that if you read emails on the list. But you don't, for some mysterious unstated reason.
