yeah..but i guess it's more complex than it seems.. there are different kinds of criticism. OT topics are never gonna dissapear and most of the time i enjoy them, but when some guy starts the "mandrake sucks because it didn't recognize my third wheel on my second mouse on my new computer, so linux is crap" way, it's hard to make fruitful discussion out if that. yes, you can get that ppl to shut up eventually, when/if they start getting the proper response to those posts... i would change a thing or two about the looks of MDK myself, but if i should ever decide to do something about it, i don't think my first step would be to make a pissed-off post about how crappy this or that looks. criticism can be good. that is perfectly true. but sometimes you get to read "opinions" that hardly qualify as "criticism"... they are rather "bitching" and this is what i think is useless and a total waste of time especially to this, a support list. i think i said about enough. feel free to disagree with me, i'll drop the discussion here.
