Thank you for the restrained reply, Eucke
Wearing my '@centos.org' hat, let me add that I strongly
concur to the effect that 'shaming' on a mailing list is
probably not something to encourage; advising as to better
practice, or better, simply staying still if one has nothing
new to add are often fine responses to some posts.
We have a place to use social pressure toward education and
growth as a sysadmin, in the ground rules of avoiding
'spoonfeeding' in the #centos IRC channel, and that's about
all; we have not had inquiries there yet about 'baby mulching
machines or atomic bombs' [1], but I suppose we would answer
the centos 'on topic' part. We would send the off topic away,
either to #centos-social (if it looked like we conld amuse
that channel), or to a more appropirate venue for remaining
off topic matter.
