lonni, i'm not attacking anyone for not helping.. i'm 'attacking' for the sarcastic comments... the guy's looking for help... if you can't help, fine.. i just don't think there's a need for the sarcastic comments.. for my $0.02, it comes off as arrogant... the guy's clearly asking for help... and if i had the answer/solution i'd post it for him with no probs.. i've done this plenty of times.. i've actually called people, and worked with them to solve their issues.. simply because from my view it makes the world go 'round.. but this is just my view.. -----Original Message----- From: Lonni J Friedman [mailto:netllama@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 3:31 PM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Linksys PCMCIA Linux Driver No, the difference is that you're attacking others for not helpking the guy when you clearly don't understand the scope of what you're asking them to do. 'the guy' asked a vague, cryptic question, followed by completely ignorant questions. The fact that he got any response at all is quite amazing.
