Hi, This is now getting out of hand.
Could all messages to the list about this subject now cease. If you wish to continue this discussion, please do so in private. Thank You Andrew Thompson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Tom Whiting Sent: 08 August 2002 22:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman </lurkermode> There was NOTHING wrong with the reply whatsoever. Telling someone to RTFM is a rather generous reply, given the question itself. In fact it is a rather NICE reply, compared to some I've seen. Threatening to leave the list? What on earth for? Because someone wrote a reply you didn't like or understand? I simply told him to read the %$W#^ manual. Hell, I GAVE 'im the support and whatnot he needed to solve the problem, as WELL as telling him to read the manual, which is MORE than I've seen most do. Instead of threatening to leave the list because you got yourself offended, and starting a flame war that could go on and on and on forever, why not just leave. Or better yet, STAY and help out. Either way, one user, to a list of (probably) hundreds makes little difference, unless that user is an active poster. Do I make stupid statements, ask stupid questions? I've been using linux/various mta's for going on 7 years (not meant as a bragging statement, it just is a fact). In that time, I've found that rather than actually do the work to help themselves (utilizing search engines, reading manuals, etc), individuals would rather post problems such as the one that was posted, then run to a community supported list, crying, because they failed to read the manual, or do a little legwork and find out the solution to their problem. When I encounter a problem that has NOT been publicly solved, or can not be solved through searching the vast library of the internet, THEN I post something, requesting help. It's REALLY not that hard to do the same thing. In short, most (if not all) problems can be solved by searching various search engines, FAQ's, utilizing the RTFM principle. Failing to do so simply wastes more of the community's time. <lurkermode> On Thursday 08 August 2002 03:18 pm, Jim Popovitch wrote: > OK, If that is a acceptable reply to anyone on the list than I may > consider leaving.
