You're right! No one disagrees with you here. You'll get the same answer everywhere you go! It's universally understood/accepted support mailing list etiquette to research your issues first before posting, to the best of your ability. > I'm truly surprised you'd argue this point as it's universally > understood/accepted support mailing list etiquette.

Nope! While it's universally understood/accepted support mailing list etiquette to research your issues to the best of your ability first, it's also universally understood/accepted support mailing list etiquette to not be a jerk. While folks may have a bad day or let their feelings slip or otherwise -- be a jerk -- it's not acceptable anywhere. Is it understandable? Sure, it happens sometimes. Doesn't make it right. > If you want to call me a jerk then do so.

You're a jerk and a contrarian and I think the responses you're getting in this thread show exactly what that's doing to *your* reputation. And, by the way, you can call me Chris. There's really no need to keep repeating my full name, as it's at the top of every email I send. Chris is also in the signature. Use the signature. > Burying this thread is way overdue.

While one could hope you're wanting this off the list because you've finally realized how much you've embarrassed yourself, I know that, sadly, that isn't true. -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
