Two points I believe are germane:
1. This is a tempest in a teapot. Get outside and plant some flowers.
It's Spring, or at least nearly so.
2. WTF? There is no "moral obligation" to help? There is *always* a
moral obligation to help someone in distress - or one who simply needs
help - in a caring community. If someone is reading and writing on this
list then they obviously belong to us, at least at this point in time.
Give them a hand. Granted, there may be some point in time when the
users are too numerous here that posts may need to be edited but I don't
think that's today - otherwise we wouldn't all be stirring this little
teapot so vigorously. Don't allow your irritation at Oracle (or Sun)
from interfering with our new community.

As a relative newbie this strikes me as an opportunity to both show
people that OI exists and is a woth while OS to use and provide a
repository of useful info and fixes for problems.
I totally agree that we should not be providing support for Oracle -
that is the decisions made when the support from OSOL ended.
But how about looking at an answer from the perspective of ..."sorry
mate cannot advice you on Sol express because... not supported
etc... but if you were using OI this is how ...."
This way the mail list shows how supportive it can be to OI users
and provides everyone to fixes for problems.
Hello, I fully agree. As a matter of fact, I'm myself running solaris
1 express for the time being... waiting to try the next openindiana
version - when it's ready.
I fully support openindiana but I don't think most of the people
using solaris 11 express consider themselves on the other branch of
the fork. They just got it for free and keep experimenting each new
[open]solaris||indiana, like I myself have been doing since snv_75.
So helping these people is, in my opinion, unwelcome, especially as
the compatibility between solaris 11 and openindiana is still
extremely high (and I hope it remains so).
Openindiana team, thanks for your work, anyway, and keep going.
Bruno
