Thus the fedora-users list doesn't even slightly resemble the other lists that you mentioned and it seems to be an unreasonable expectation that you have. I tend to have a high tolerance for eccentric people but a low tolerance for those who treat the list like a resource for their school homework rather than actually make an attempt to obtain the answers but I guess everyone has their own flash points. Despite the obvious meanderings, Linda does have a genuine interest in using Fedora, has repeatedly demonstrated some in depth knowledge of Linux and Fedora and has done research. I don't share your obvious contempt for her presence and think you have been unnecessarily harsh but you don't have to please any of us.
