To identify the skill level of the individual who replied. Wasn't I clear?

I could care less about pointing a finger. It is Alpha software - stuff happens. I fixed mine just fine, even without the help. My mistake, I didn't realize folks were still arguing about "the incident". Actually I wondered why a new thread wasn't created for the op question. Now I know - it apparently is the same thread. I wasn't involved in the original discussion and choose not to comment on it. However, if this is a new thread, I stand on my suggestion. Yes, I would like to know the quality of a reply and I would base it on my above stated criteria. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I will butt out and allow you folks to return to the argument. -rich -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
