It's not like UBC was totally unrelated to the topic. And that situation
was already handled fine by Bob Beck in a more productive and
informative way.

Yeah, everything is fine the way it is. Alienating random users with
real questions is the cost of making a good OS. They're just too
sensitive.

Except that I have a pretty thick skin and have been around on the lists

there's a difference between some idiot asking idiotic questions on
misc@ and getting blasted, and an inquiry into a pretty common, genuine
issue on t...@.
