This reply is not aimed at the Taiidan, it is a disagreement with all
people who make, what on the surface are logical arguments without
thinking through the logic carefully.

I get frustrated when people use specious arguments to make a point.
Any argument of the form "If you are not smart enough to <do x> you are
not smart enough to <do y>" is generally wrong. A simple example of the
lack of implication is "If you are not smart enough to use a
sophisticated camera, you are not smart enough to write sophisticated
programs."

Also being smart enough to do something does not equate to wanting to do
that something.

Making the leap to "catering to the lowest common denominator" is simply
insulting. I can use mailing lists, but I prefer, if possible, not
to do so. qubes-users is, in fact, the only mailing list I use.
