Error 1
Their point is that all mailinglists and web based forums are for the
unwashed masses and the true community life is in the newsgroup.
So they demand from the Mandrake management to read and post there
because websites and web based forums are ... see beginning of chapter.

I remember when there was a lively discussion about Ga�l Duval being too
much a coward to discuss his point s in the newsgroup.

Error 2
They seek information about Mandrake everywhere except on the official
Mandrake sites. I remember a lot of postings where people asked where
they could find this or that info. None of the weathered Linux and
Mandrake gurus ever suggested the right place on one of the Mandrake
sites. They pointed to /., to all other sites and even to Google.

I was fed up with this ignorance although the place was always good for
a laugh! Did Sylvan burn his trebuchet yet?
