+1 >> But then again I see you whining on the other lists too, perhaps as >> you say on those lists it *is* time you move to slackware, I'm sure >> they will be more tollereant of you whines on their lists, not. Well, Lee, I have to add that introducing an mail with something like "fix it or I'm moving to slackware", that's probably supposed to be some form of threatening, is definitely.. how am I going to say this while staying polite... "bad practice". > Nice bashing Graham! Jumping on me about what's wrong with SUSE 10.1 > will certainly go a long way in making them aware of the problems many > have experienced with it.

Especially your follow-up emails are quite inflammatory without it bringing any added value, this one being a very nice example as well. > 10.1. 10.1 is/was not right and someone had the boneheaded idea to put > it out anyway.

Wow, how nice. Actually you really confirmed Graham's reply ;) Please keep on reporting issues, contributing, etc... but please drop that troll dress, that's not helping anyone, and certainly not yourself.
