well, my 02c is to get rid of the list police, the time spent on what isI disagree. Responding encourages future attempts and will build like a snowball. Politely explaining the purpose of the list and the nature of their offtopic post is much etter longterm IMO. I have issues everyday that i would appreciate feedback from the experience developers/users on this list but recognize that time is valuable and that if they had time to spare to help my problem they'll read the appropriate list. The polite negative responses serve as a reminder to the silent operatives out there (like me) that this isnt the place to ask even though the people here do know the answer.
appropriate for the list and what is inappropriate for the list is as big a
waste of bandwidth as the original thread. If a response is made to an
inquiry then it is appropriate otherwise it will die as all threads
eventually do. Now see, I've wasted bandwidth by making my response.
However the original posters question was ontopic IMO and i have run into the unavailability kernel issue myself a number of times.
