Maybe, but it's in there along with Windows users goading Linux users into a lather for fun, and people who think that the best way to get told how do something explictly, step by step, is to bitch on and on that nobody helps them. When a newcomer repeatedly ignores the same advice from different users, or the same advice from the same people as being a necessary step in a process, and despite explanations about why they should do what they're informed about, the benefit of the doubt lessens considerably. NB: This (trolling) is a general comment, I was commenting on what "g" said about someone else, elsewhere. *I* am *not* aiming it at any particular person on this list, at this time. It was just a comment that you see "that kind of thing" from time to time. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
