Newbies never expect answerers to bend or bow. All they expect is Answer / Solution to their Questions / Problems. Infact, if your answer satisfies their needs, they will repesct their seniors more. > > You go through the archives and you will find people posing questions > and then disappearing when more information is sought from them. Yes. It happens. But, people ask questions here just because they are not aware. All those who ask Questions are not experts in Computer. (Some may be new to computer itself). They may not be able to answer you completely. In case you need more information for attempting to resolve the issue, you may provide them with a guideline on how to get that EXTRA information. For instance, when you go to a mechanic shop for repairing your car / bike, you just tell him / her about the problem in your own language... Or as if what you know. And he will never ask you back details of technical specifications. Rather he will ask you and get answers from you in yiur own understanding. Is this applicable only for them? > A few have been "fearless" and their knowledge base has blossomed, if > this is their "fear" then IMO they should stick with whatever OS they > are comfortable with.

Do you mean that everyone who switches over to Linux must do something to FOSS ? If that is the case, should those who did not contribute switch back to Nasty windows? Again then, what is the aim of FOSS and where is it heading? Final Question... Suppose some enthusiastic homemaker switches over to Linux, do you expect him / her to learn Software Engineering to solve the problems? What type of contribution do you expect? P.S: In case this mailing list is meant only for Software professionals / Linux career enthusiastics, I request you to kindly intimate me the same and, unsubscribe me from this list. -- Regards, ARUN P A Tailor’s mistake is a Fashion But, An Engineer’s mistake is a Disaster.
