Brian wasn't commenting about the posts suitability for this mailing
list but that the poster had hijacked an existing, unrelated thread, and
requested that he start a new thread with his question. Some benefits of
starting a new thread are that it will not get buried in the existing
thread and it will not pollute the existing thread.
Potential respondents to the cinnamon question may have seen the
original thread, not been interested in it, killed the thread and so
would not see the question that they would be able to help with.
Cheers,
Tom
