I don't see anything wrong with David's reply below, he's not telling Rad to leave the mailing list, just telling him that he should be researching the problem on resources that may be more suited, and if trying something to let the group here know.
I've been in newsgroups and mailing lists where people don't answer you at all - I think it's actually because no one knows. I know I go through some emails here and have an idea on a solution, but sometimes don't answer because someone else may have the solution.
I think it's better to at least get some sort of reply, even pointing in the right direction is ok with me, because I've always found it's better working things out myself with the many resources available on the itnernet than asking - asking is my last resort.
Michael.

Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2003 19:11:55 -0500Ok, I see this shit all the time, go search Google go do this go do that.... What the hell is the point of mailing lists if the people that know how to fix the problems are too lazy to help those in need? Why should one even come to the mailing list in the future when one is told to basically "get the fuck out"? I also subscribe to Microsoft and macromedia newsgroups, and there are people who repeatedly as the same question because they don't search Google or some other shit resource, yet the moderators and other people are friendly enough to always answer their questions if they ask. This is the way it's supposed to be. If you don't want to answer the question shut the fuck up get out, don't tell other people to get lost. Makes me sick. - end of rant. - Vic -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Busby Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 5:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Linux Newbie Search the archives for relevant terms, then try google.
