Newbies should be encouraged to ask questions, and we should help them patiently. 2. Girish is not a newbie, but someone who knowingly disregards feedback from others on the list. Many efforts have been made to get him to stop posting noise. Naturally some are upset. 3. This Linux list is very Indian in flavor. Lots of dissenting voices, and complaints, but very little action. Perhaps the government that governs least is the best government. Yet, this list seems to have no will to govern itself, whatsoever. I could yell, and curse, and insult, and do anything here, and I will be tolerated. Who is going to stop me ( or Girish ) ? There are no moderators here! Isn't it wonderful to know that I can dump sewage here? :-) Cheers, - Ashwin. -- ================================================= Subvert the dominant paradigm.
