We've been called elitists. This must be why. It takes all kinds of
people to make the world go round. Some whine; some don't. Even whiners
can learn when given direction and encouragement. This is supposed to be
a learning tool - not just a tool for super geeks. Some rhetorical
questions for anyone who doesn't care for newbies: Do you forget what it
was like to be new? Were you ever new? Were you born knowing linux? Or
perhaps just with a brain that understands it more easily? And for the
record, imho, "firm (yet polite)" seems quite like ice when you are on
the receiving end and ignoring people is childish. Yes, the livecd
brings a lot of new users to #lfs-support, but that's why it's there -
for "support." Books usually have a large following and ours seems to
get smaller when new people are not welcomed into the community.
What happened to common courtesy and consideration? It's expected in
#lfs-support so why not all over the project?
