Mike, a flame is just a message with some emotion attached. Saying:
* A package with multipule, and conflicting README/install instructions
* is poor programming, and unfortunatly very typical of linux (as a
* whole system) these days.
does not exactly sound like just trying "to point out an inaccuracy".
Whatever your intentions, these sound like unbased recriminations.
If you do not understand why you were flamed, then I doubt that even
Linus (as great and all knowing as he is) can explain it to you.
