[pages and pages of re-posted message snipped] Geez people, can't you trim your replies a little so we don't have to wade through pages of crap we've already read to get to your point? If we're interested in the thread, we've already read the previous messages... Just quote enough so that we know what you're referring to. > Why post messages on a support list about the usefulness of a product > that said list is designed to support? This is community-developed software... The community's opinion of the software matters. If there's something that you think sucks in Fedora, this is as good a place as any to ask why it sucks and whether or not anything can be done about it. Whether posed as a question or not, the community needs to be accepting of criticism, in order to make the software better. When people rant, it's because they're frustrated. Their rants should be taken in that light, and should be seen as an opportunity for improvement, of which there remain many in the free software world. > Do you honestly expect anyone to reply with "You know what?

It is really not necessary to be so rude... Rather than be insulting, why don't you try to offer some constructive explanation, or provide some alternative ways to do what is being complained about. -- Derek D.
