It's everyone's role to point out situations where posts would be better served by posting to other lists. I think this was a helpful suggestion. I think the response to that was unjustifiably aggressive in stance. I'm not as concerned about JD's lack of knowledge in some areas- yes it is generally annoying noise before the correct answer, but his heart is in the right place for trying to provide assistance and one would hope that as he learns the subject matter, his post quality/quantity ratio will approve. -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
