All people are asking is to stick to fedora-related topics here, and at least try to be be accurate in your descriptions so some cause/effect logic can be attempted. Most people search this list for answers to questions before asking them again. Just imagine how hard that will be now for the new user looking for the one simple command line it takes to use dd. Also, it helps both people reading the discussion currently and in the archives to reply to existing threads when continuing that topic and to start new threads with different subjects when the topic changes.

You don't need to stop posting to stop making it difficult for others.

Well I thought with just a couple of times I was writing about Fedora. The latest with dd is clearly a fedora issue.

There is nothing really fedora-specific about using dd to copy things. It has worked the same way in all unix-like systems for decades. The device names and what you have to fix in grub.conf and fstab are somewhat linux specific if you copy partitions instead of the whole disk. But, no one objects to simple question/solution threads on how to do something in fedora even if it is the same in many other distributions.

So I am willing to try and figure out what is expected. I will not do as I see being done.

I think this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines has already been pointed out. In particular, try the search tips before posting to see if your question has already been asked and has a known answer. Then, when you are posting something new, try to do it in a way that the next person who needs the same answer will be able to find it quickly with an archive search. Remember, everything you are posting will be archived away (virtually) forever.
