i too had to ask that once on another mailing-list.
apparently on some popular (bad sense) fora,
there are teen types who get their jollies by starting flame-wars:
eg "hey guys, i've been having so much trouble, i've gone back to M$".
among grown-ups, the sensible response is simply to ignore them
or if there's a chance they are genuinely naive, offer a helpful answer.

hopefully, Gentoo lists are patronised by adults -- attitude, not age -- ,
who shd react to the inquiry above as i did,
ie that it's a genuine problem someone has had,
but not really something to ask Gentoo users to help with.
