10.3: Make Palm HotSync work in Panther
Authored by: robg on Nov 04, '03 08:21:39PM

Constructive tone noted and understood (and after three years, I've learned to take nothing personally! :-). Given the realities of time management and hint submissions, getting authors to re-write their submissions, and explaining why, is simply not feasible. Similarly, I dislike changing what others have written (beyond correcting grammar, spelling, and formatting), so I'm not inclined to change it myself.

However, I agree in principle with your some of your statements on root, so I will do my best to remember to add a root disclaimer whenever such a hint is published (they are few and far between -- if I'm remembering correctly, there might be 10 or 20 in the database overall). Perhaps I'll even make it a hint in and of itself, and then I'll just link it in the disclaimer: "See this hint for a way of doing this without physically logging in as root" or somesuch.
