Look up "mansplaining". When it's a person's (specifically male) job to explain to a new employee (specifically female) how to do a task but the new person already knows how (or thinks they do) to do it and expects the explainer to somehow know that. Nevermind it's a requirement to explain to ensure the explainee has been informed to cover arses in case the new person screws up. The genders of the people involved can be any combination but the one in the word points out which one teds to complain the most. I think of a parachute jumpmaster. It's their job to go over the procedures *every time*, whether it's the jumper's first jump or 10,000th. If the jumper screws up they (or their relatives) have no beef with the jumpmaster.

I suspect it is aimed at some manner of behaviour that I have not (knowingly) seen on our forums. It is a bit of a concern to think that I could be accused of breaking the CoC for being too helpful. I get the feeling that this CoC was written for a somewhat different demographic than LinuxCNC users tend to be. (By which I am mainly referring to age) . _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
