Hi all, I'm not far from Sydney, so if anyone takes exception to this critisim, I can easily make the next SLUG meeting.
There are no FLAMERS on this post, hasn't been, shouldn't be. If you take exception to what is said in an email, leave it be... kick the dog, beat your partner, or whatever else you need to do to boost your ego. Don't infect the list with faceless, gutless rubbish. (ref to paragraph 1) This list is for people who; a. Are advanced enough to actually confuse the rest of us when they have problems b. Are advanced enough to actually help newbies when they are not helping each other. When I see "take your head out of your arse" on the SLUG mailing list, I know we have problems. That's Microsoft talk for "I found the command line, nah nah!" SLUG is above all that, Slug is about helping and nurturing a growing community. Slug is the public face of Linux for alot of Sydneysiders (and possibly much further a field). Slug is where you turn when Debian bites you on the arse and you somehow manage to get Pine or Mutt to send a big Linux SOS. If this mailing list degrades into some "windows" orientated flame war with a lot half wit "know it alls" telling people off because they "know better", then I'll go back to using windows where I can avoid/ don't need to contact/associate/speak/type messages to people like that. So will alot of other people. Get it together SLUG, we depend on you, we depend on your knowledgable members and we more than ever we need a sense of community. Like I said, I am available anytime ... Flame this post and you'd better have it to front the next slug meeting, otherwise, your just datavapour ... For all who have kept the faith, and especially for our departing "el presidenti" and "vice" Brave, Encore, Encore, Encore!
