[svlug] Accountability Software.

Quoting Michael C. Robinson (plug_1 at robinson-west.com):

Nor was I interested in the politics of so-called 'accountability'.

Nor _had_ I attributed, upthread, any specific intent to whatever your
personal use-case is.  That is your invention, and I do not appreciate
the misrepresentation of fact.

So, looks like you paid no real attention to my having handed you the
solution to your question as posed.  So, not only do you frame questions
so wretchedly badly that people make good-faith guesses that 'git' is
the corret answer, but also you ignore a full answer from someone who
took the extra trouble to figure out the missing context, and attribute
false claims to the helper.

OK, thanks for clarifying that you're not only a total loss at seeking
help, but also then refuse it when it reaches you anyway, and are
basically an ingrate about attempts to assist you.

If you'd wanted to know _that_, you should have asked it the first time.
But that's not what you asked.

Good luck getting a market competitive analysis of two problems nobody
else particularly cares about on a Linux user group mailing list.
You'll need it.

Again, if you didn't bother to make your requirements clear the first
time, that means you failed as a querent.  Ask better, or get used to
being killfiled and ignored.

If I cared, I'd point out that getting reporting out of Dansguardian or
out of ancillary proxy/cache software is not brain surgery.  Karsten
Self did it with no difficulty at the Napa kids' computing lab, for
example.

Sounds like your problem, and very much not mine.  And not the problem
of a Linux user group, either.
