I am a passive member of the list. I am a Hardware Engineer who is sparingly using Linux. But I read all the mails for the last two years. I enjoy the questions and answers. This list is doing fine. Linux is Free & Open Source, that doesn't mean when some member ask a question and expect a free answer from the other member of the list. If some one try to answer the question we should be thankful to him. Let us understand what is freedom. When I drive my car on the road I should follow the rules, otherwise we know what will happen. The same way when a member like to participate in the list let him see the previous mails, study list rules and understand how to ask questions. Even some one point the mistake let the member say thanks to him and correct his mistake. I think now a days we are slowly loosing patience. The other member is taking his time to correct us. Why don't we accept it. Let us show our honesty on this list to accept our mistakes and correct them. If we do not understand the answers we can ask them to explain in details rather than criticizing them.
