It probably has happened to all of us at least once :). I also agree that the Linux community repeats the same info over and over again, and that it gets annoying. That's one of the reasons I was attracted to Arch. Because instead of a person having to repeat themselves, they could easily just write a well written documentation, and send people to read them. While at the other end, the asking user could finally find a well written document, that would actually be able to help them, because it was well written in the first place. It benefits both parties. I also do not like to repeat myself, and strive to write good documentation once, so that people will understand it better. That's one of the reasons why I make Youtube videos. Visual learning is a great way to teach someone. Especially the people that are too comfortable to read, which they will have to get over it. I don't believe I am more valuable, or more important than anyone else. I signed up to these mailing lists about a week ago, there is no where to signing up to the Arch mailing list where it says "You must bottom post". Some communities top post by default, some do inline posting, and some do bottom posting. It's something that a person has to learn and adapt to while they are in the community. If you look at all my posts in the last 3-4+ days, they are all now written in bottom-post format. There may be 1 or 2 that slipt since I switch between my phone and computer, and I have to disable top quotes, etc. Also I didn't pull the "oh look I have more contributions then you card". If you look at my post, I said that my comments are valuable and are not noob-irrelevant-spam-troll like comments because I'm an actual Arch linux user. Not just some random person. I showed some of my contributions so that you can understand that I am an Archer, I am a contributing user, and I legitimiately card about the future of Arch Linux, therefore my constructive criticism to not just OS design, but also to Etiquette behavior should be heard (Doesn't have to be followed, but at least listened to). That's how democracy works. By listening to it's citizens. Same goes with the AUR, and when people vote for packages for inclusion into the community repo. So I hope I cleared that I wasn't trying to compare my contributions to anybody else. I'm sure, proud, and happy that we have members like Gaetan and you in our community because I'm sure that you also help, want to continue helping, and love Arch linux just as any other Archer. I don't know how said Arch is the natural replacement for Ubuntu either. I did say multiple times, in my videos, and in these posts that as long as a person is willing to read documentation, that it doesn't matter what there starting position is. Doesn't matter if they are a noob, or a pro user from another Distro or OS. The important thing is that they are willing to read the documentation in order to further their knowledge. So I completely agree with you as well Angel, and it's exactly what I'm promoting and have been saying. I'm glad you have helped a lot of people in this community, and I'm sure you will continue to do so. I'm not happy that you or anyone else has to receive Troll comments. Now I believe that as a person with an @archlinux domain in your email, you are not just a regular Archer, but you of course are an esteemed member in the community. Therefore as a person with authority, you have to be a roll model for everyone else. I'm not saying you have to take crap from anyone, but I am saying that you definitely can't be making "troll-like comments". That doesn't look good, especially when an outsider comes to look at Arch and sees people with power trolling on it's users. They will surely leave, no matter how noob, or pro they are. You don't have to apologize to me. Drama, and correct etiquette behavior are two different things. Thanks, I will continue to learn :). @Leonid Isaev Of course, a person definitely has to use his/her brain when reading anything online. That's why I said we have to be careful with what we read, and why people need to keep an open mind when they read the information and go to speak to their doctors about it. There will most likely be a flaw, and the doctor will need to correct that flaw and logic. It's also the doctor's responsability at that point to not act arrogantly and try to make the patient feel stupid for them trying to self-diagnose themselves. Life's a two way street, and there are responsabilities at both ends. -- Jonathan Vasquez
