I see a lot of criticism of KG's response; I am not happy about someone expecting to get an answer from the LUG about proprietary software. And I am not sure that the list should encourage people to answer such questions. And KG's succinct (ok, cryptic) answer was to the point. I might have told the OP politely not to expect such questions answered here; or I might have done it rudely. I am concerned that a large number of list members are looking up to the LUG list as a general trouble-shooting help desk. I for one would be very unhappy if that is the direction it turns to. The LUG and the list are meant to foster a sense of community learning and working together for FOSS software. I am considerably more offended by the question asked (and the defenses for the same) than the manner of KG's answer. -- Asokan Pichai *-------------------* We will find a way. Or, make one.
