Nonsense, we are humans and have experiences with other humans and most of us likely are older than 8 years. Fortunately Andrei renamed the subject. For somebody who needs help, it's terrible to read a discussion that doesn't help her/him. The discussion about nothing is a serious issue. I replied to Stan and Jerry off-list (not a wise decision, to be quiet is much wiser) and I posted the link to the OT list. People stay away from Linux, if they need help and much more than 50% of the replies are about the wrong tone of voice, broken threads etc.. Before they could filter messages, they need to read all that irrelevant carp. Errare humanum est! Everybody of us makes mistakes, no need to beat a dead horse. The OP get a lot of help, Stan's mail might be help or not, it doesn't matter, the much longer discussion about Stan's tone of voice is counterproductive. Even if Stan's tone of voice should be wrong and his tone of voice perhaps isn't wrong, but even if it would be wrong, it was just one email among several emails that were ok. The discussion about "a problem" were "no problem" is, makes it bad. 2 cents, Ralf _______________________________________________ D-community-offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
