this may also be the reason why some list subscribers (read: i did not
state PLUGgers) may have an elitist view of official PLUG members, this
was a previous thread i remember, from last elections.
and, funny thing is, while we advocate the use of linux, especially to
those who would like to try any other OS aside from M$ (most,newbies
like me) the fear of being flamed by GURUs is the reason why I'd rather
not ask questions, and plainly read and learn from the discussions. When
googling doesnt turn up any solutions to my linux questions, tomorrow,
is another googling day.

is genuinely interested in learning linux. I am not trying to flame
anyone or start anything. I AM talking from experience.
Kaya most of the time i would rather spend the better part of the a week
trying to figure out solutions to my problems, doing it the hard way,
rather than risk mapahiya here on the list.
I think even if we have a unified list, it will be the same situation.
If we are to have a unified list, we hould also have to look at our
attitude to others. Sort of a attitude adjustment.
Kasi may unified list nga kung lagi namang ELITE GURU na imbes na point
to the path yung newbie e ridicule (strong word, pero i cant think of a
"milder" word right now) ang isasagot, wala ring ipinag-iba kung
separated/fragmented yung list into different levels.
Again, this is just me stating MY opinion. If i offend anyone. please
accept my sincerest apologies.
