Allowing technical topics on this list will kill it (and it's already damn near the red line). >> I say Houghi is doing an important and unpleasant task.

Now, I find that very offending. 1) I don't see anything "hostile" in houghi's reply and if you do, as houghi asked you about 2 or 3 times, please come up with a better proposal as for the content of his email - but the following aspects are not up to discussion: this list is not for technical questions, and there should be no replies to technical questions 2) our community has a hostile attitude ? Explain this. Really. > Depending on the level of the technical questions - see the "anything > RIGHT with 10.1?" threads among others - sometimes general problems or > even specific problem discussion can be helpful to the rest of the > community. Yes, but on suse-linux-e, which is dedicated to technical issues, not here. > Also, I know tone is not conveyed in e-mail much so I'll give you an > indication of my mood as well, which is constructive. My mood: offended by "what appears to be a hostile attitude, not by one particular person but more among the group" cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEghZwr3NMWliFcXcRAqNLAJ0RmwznYaxcECeTDcqyQSa+s+/YNACfQDih jBTYHNrN7pByNWym9KndgTw= =0zOv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
