Hi Peoples, I normally wouldn't comment on this, but I felt obliged to this time.. This mailing list is great for what it is, a DISCUSSION forum for linux (in particular, Mandrake Linux) Infer from that what you will, however, I don't see anything anywhere that states we must not talk about non tech issues.. We are an online community, and I sort of consider many of you friends in an online sort of way :-) we have similiar interests, (wouln't be here otherwise) and often we are able to help each other out.. I like seeing the occasional post about issues that don't relate to problems tech wise, and I think discussions on the direction of linux in general very important considering its opposition, a concerted front is a good thing.. Also, if linux is to make it mainstream, then the last thing we need to broadcast, is the kind of posts that you put up, that is basically telling newbies that you are not interested in anything that they have to say, which is sad because they are newbies for the most part, that means they don't have anything else to say except to ask questions... Deal with it, if you want a "more straight down the line" mailing list, join Redhat (and get flamed down for the simplest of questions.), or the developer list. I for one welcome the newbies comments as only a newbie can tell you how to make something easy and intuitative. an expert is usually to familiar with the code to know if its easy or hard for a newbie.. In relation to this specific message, I didn't even know there was a "Linux Lunacy 7 day cruise" so I learned somthing from it... and he has my congrats also on the marrage... (have you ever read a "feel good" story? ) Get a life, like anything in life, this is creavet emptor, Buyer beware... if you don't like the message, delete them... its really much easier then you think, in fact its easier and with less keystrokes then the message you wrote back. also, anyone who would begrudge a person announcing their marrage and then post back calling it "crap" is a very self involved individual. You obviously spend to much time in front of your PC, go outside, in the sunshine, smile at someone, pat a dog, take deep breaths... whatever does it for you, but for gods sake, relax... you'll live longer. Linux needs helpful, supportive, cooperating people in its corner. Not selfish pontificating assholes....(I am not saying you are one of these, just that your last post paints you that way.) having said that, "thankyou for your post" I am sure you will get floods of people happy to help you out the next time you have a problem. :-) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles A.
