what could be wrong here, we have 1 jerk, who other than giving everyone the
shits, has contibuted nothing (actually 2, if we count good old Ron S. (you
know who you are)) to the process, and get pissed when it don't work for them.
childish!!!

if you cannot control your temper, and don't like what is going on with Mdk,
go to
http://linuxfromscratch.org and do it yourself.
When you then have a problem, you can hit yourself over the head with a
keyboard as much as you like, or even set up a mailing list and flame
yourself, for all I care.
all you are doing by flying off the handle here, is alienating yourself from
the people who *can* help you.
If you cannot act with a little bit of civility, towards people that would
help, you *deserve* to be put in a killfile, which I personally am loath to do.

You sure are the one who manages to write nasty messages to this list asking
why you are to stupid to learn a few simple editor commands.
go ahead, Throw your keyboard again...

All I suggested, was to stop the damn vi/emacs/pico thread, which was,
incidentally OFF TOPIC, after you had made your point, and then found a fix. A
way to do so, would be to do like they do on several lists I am on.
The question gets asked.
an answer is provided.
No extraneous crap that is irrelevant.
such as this email for example.
or all of the followups that said me too on the vi from hell thread.
A question, an answer, no bullshit of topic, aol-esque me too crap.
therefore, a moderated list, is not the same as a censored list.
All the moderator does, is to keep the list on topic, which in this case, is
"Mandrake help - for experts to discuss issues they may have" not for newbies
to say "me too."
everyone gets the help they need.
no one gets hostile, and the people that are capable of helping, stick around.
(this is the key issue I think)
I try to help when I have time, but I am so fed up with reading the bullshit,
(I don't want to have to edit my procmailrc everytime a new bullshit thread
erupts), that I may just leave the list altogether and ignore it.
my 2c.
again..
