yeah.. thats what I mean... except one that is for club members only.. has staff working there who do it under orders and not volenteers.. and no question is too dumb... :-) if they volenteer, they usually only answer stuff they consider advanced enough.. if mandrake puts them there to answer questions.. they will..
And mdk club should have some communication method of ideas.. when you have 50,000 users, and you ignore thier opinions.. then you are wasting money.. with that many people, there are very likely a good many awesom ideas that just get ignored.. its a shame.. I write web apps for a company over here, and most of my work is adapted from suggestions by my clients... In short, if you treat people as stupid with nothing valid to add (bar money) then thats exactly what you'll end up with. stupid users.. that was the big M$ mistake... now windows users are generally to dumbed down to understand linux quickly...

I know at least one MDK employee hangs out there. The problem? They are not very newbie friendly & far too ready to kick ban ppl for "Stupid questions". I left when one of the ops got really pissy & anal retentive. He muted the channel & de-voiced everyone who was in it b/c ppl like me were asking too many dumb questions. The channel? #MDK-Newbie or something similar. It was made strictly for MDK newbs to come & ask for support/questions. ------------- FemmeFatale Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux.
