Thank you! An answer I can reply happily with / to, rather than thinking

As a matter of fact, this group has done everything it could to help
you. It's repeatedly told you where you need to ask your questions, but
up until now, you haven't accepted the fact that you're asking in the
wrong place.
Joe,
I think that many of the responses Richard received read as "you're
asking the wrong list, go away and ask on the correct list" without
ever telling him what the correct list WAS. Nor was it ever explained
to him where things would migrate between the "test" and "user" lists.
I've been on various RHEL and Fedora lists for upwards of ten years and
it can be confusing to me! But I'm an old fart and forget things.
To be honest, looking over the thread, some of the responses were also
worded in a, shall we say, less than friendly manner? This list really
exists to help people. No, we don't know all the answers, and yes,
sometimes we get snarky, but that should be the exception rather than
the rule.
