I didn't consider that you might count abusive posts under that
category, which I now realize is what you mean. I read your statement as
implying that people posted misinformation with the intent of misleading
newbies, or something like that, which I certainly haven't seen.
I personally don't think abusive posts make it hard to learn.
Ignore them, and pay attention to the ones that ask for more information or
tell you which FM to R.

] 1) Dan's anti-packaging policy
No argument.
] 2) Increasing dependency in other packages
No argument.
] 3) Newbie bashing on the main support list
Sometimes deserved. Sometimes not. Chaff in the wind, grasshopper.
] 4) Badly disguised manouvers to create a qmail maintaners guild or two
The point I raised a question about.
] 5) Proliferation of patches
See #1. See agreement with #1.
