PLBLPBLTLTPBTLT! You're polluting the list worse than the people you
are complaining about.

Two requests:

1. Please do not top post.  I have noticed that a few of the new members
    tend to ignore this simple list guideline.  It makes it difficult to
    follow the thread.

2. You have realise this list is a volunteer effort.  So a thread gets
    attention only if some member knows he/she can help, relates to the
    problem because they have faced it personally or takes interest in
    those matters.  Often a thread stays unanswered for weeks and then an
    interested comes along with an answer.  Sometimes there are no
    answers at all!  As an example for the later you can take a look at
    this:
    <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/418517>

    What I'm getting at is: posting to the list does not guarantee a
    solution.  This is the nature of a volunteer effort, and all of us
    live with that.  If you feel a thread deserves more attention, the
    proper way to garner more attention is to post to the same thread
    with any updates you might have from your searches; if there are no
    updates, then you can just mention you are still stuck (as I did in
    the above example).

I believe Tim was also trying to point this out.  I hope this clears up
any misunderstanding you might have had.

Cheers,
