It's not a mentality, but my subjective opinion borne from experience, and one backed up by an email thanking me from someone that Google later led there. > Just because $searchengine Not any search engine, the search engine. > returns a thread that contains one or more of the keywords you entered > in the search box, does not mean that you automatically get a free > pass to dump your own issue into the thread. It was a thread on exactly the same topic: pambase's recent ditching of a fallback configuration, presumably knowing it would impact packages and their users. If I turned up there, others would, and did. > In this case you had no interest in helping the OP, you just wanted a > platform to share your own grievances relating to the recent pambase > change, I aired no grievance. Read it again. I asked questions to try and get an idea of the impact of the pambase change and to ask if I was interpreting an above poster correctly, giving a pipeline to show how I was grokking it. > and draw attention to an issue with particular importance to yourself. > To then try to pass this off as philanthropy is obscene. I think you're just upset because of the implicit criticism of your decision to close the thread, or you need to better understand the meaning of `obscene'. > Don't be surprised if, the next time you pull this sort of stunt, you > find yourself banned from the bbs. It wasn't a stunt. You seem lacking in some essential qualities of a moderator, like moderation. -- Cheers, Ralph.
