Civileme
You've been on this list a very long time. I've seen you post sharp
replies to some authors. I've seen you take a break from this list. I've
read your minutely detailed replies that were one page long. I've even
seen a typo or two, but I've never seen a swear word or derogatory
remarks about Mandrake or just plain bad manners in your posts.
If you remember when I joined this list the developers monitored it and
were quite active. Now it is rare to see a reply to this list directly
from Mandrake.
There's are more than a few of us who would like to correct the problems
and put the list back on track. I got a lot of "understanding in my
soul" by being here and being exposed to those Mandrake and Linux
specalists who, btw, are sorely missed.
Maybe this effort is for nought. Perhaps the developers and old guru's
will never return, but we will not know the answer if we don't make the
effort.
Mandrake does a great job of giving us a terrific product. We want them
to know that their effort is appreciated by many members of this MUG
list and their collective expertise is needed here too.
Turning on a filter is an easy way out of trash talk. You breathe Linux;
It gives me nightmares. If I filter mail I might miss a learning
opportunity and I can't afford it.
Thank you for your comments, patience and cool head, Civileme.
