OK - I too will ignore the livna items
I think you can lean on the list all you wish. In fact, you seem to lean
on the list excessively but as long as people can and will help you out,
that's great.
I am not trying to discourage you from using Fedora. This list however
does nothing to 'report' problems - that's what bugzilla is for.

Thank you for letting me know how you feel. Perhaps I do lean on this
list for the reasons stated (1) to discover if the problem reported has
already
been reported and/or there is a fix and/or someone is working on it and
(2) to let anyone know about it so they can benefit from the posting if it
concerns them. I know that many have responded asking for details
especially if the problem has been resolved by me or if others have
resolved it - a networked community helping each other out which
is the benefit of using this list in the first place. IMO, there are a few
people esp. newbies, go to a Bugzilla site to search for answers to
their specific problems - simply because - it is not that simple to find
so this mailing list provides them that "forum" where they can ask
about it and hopefully someone might know, and help out.
I have been resistant to using Bugzilla because it is a pain for me since
I use it so rarely and trying to fill in the fields for which I have not
a clue
such as to what product/component the product/issue involves, what
relevant data to provide which requires an intimate technical detail
level that a professional Fedora expert might know which can be beyond
a (semi) newbie's depth. But, I will try with each passing day to `get
used to it' and maybe it will become easier over time.
Kind regards,
Dan
