Thanks Ciaran!
And some users throw a hissy fit when given a detailed link to a canned response and demand that in future they get personally typed out explanations rather than a link to a detailed pre-written resource that goes into far more depth than anyone could possibly manage in a personalised response. Hence why I no longer spend much time helping in maintainer-wanted bugs unless a submitter specifically asks me to take a look at something for them -- all it takes is for one user to escalate their hissy fit to a devrel bug... Oh, and don't think that this behaviour is limited to end users. Sadly the same thing has been observed in certain Gentoo developers. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Wearer of the shiny hat) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
