Could it be possible that someone is just acting in good faith and unknowingly causing his own fail by not expressing in a way he can be understood ? I'm pretty sure this is yes.
Is it possible someone is missing some understanding on what to expect and how to optimize the possibility of being helped ? Again I'm pretty sure. How is it possible to learn if no one tells you and people just ignore. Sorry, but it wouldn't be better to just ignore this guy and let people answer him once, get tired after some exchange of mail and just let go. Everything I said was mostly supported by many other user. Including the explanation regarding "top posting" which didn't seem to have been understood more than for answering two or three message afterward. >> Suggestions? > > I propose everyone takes a step back and thinks :-) > Can I ask, have you tried to answer one of his questions and helping out ? Or is it only that you are bothered because of the noise this create on the mailing list... Ignoring people without telling them why we don't want to get into the drama of helping out is not a sensible way of acting. > Cheers > - t > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
