If you'd been on this list as long as I have, you'd have noticed that the general trend to the responses to someone's question is often similar to what I've said (several answers the same, several alternatives, and some plainly wrong ones). And if you had any tact, as is woefully absent in masses of your replies, you might realise why you end up getting the occasional sarcastic response (you piss people off something chronic). Develop some tact, or get used to the occasional sarcastic response, or even being told directly not to be such an asshat. >> This is a mailing list. > this does NOT mean that there is any need to reply blindly > with the same anwer which was given two times while the first > CORRECT reply came within a minute And your common sense seems to be lacking, too. Does it not occur to you that several people fetched their mail, saw a question, and saw no answer to it, and all answered around about the same time? The datestamps of their replies certainly suggest that this was the case in this instance. Few people are going to be anal enough to sit there and try and fetch new mail several times before replying, just to see if someone else responds before they try. That, and people often not sorting their mail in a threaded fashion, so they don't see replies that are already there, often results in several replies to a query. Oh, and before you go accusing me of being some sort of NetNazi, I wrote this sharp response to because you were being one. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
