Well, perhaps I should not contribute to the prolongation of this thread by posting to it, but hey.Yes, thank you for that excerpt. But why be religious about it? He just asked a question .. Guess what? It will happen again and again .. do not answer it if it is not appropiate.
I don't think that the original answering post was rude. I thought it was helpful, if a bit terse. I'm usually one to call people on being rude to newbies on mailing lists, but it never occured to me that the reply was rude. The information as to what list is appropriate for end user questions will no doubt be helpful to a newcomer to Fedora, and the inclusion of that infomation enhanced the value of the post.
I don't think that silence would have been an appropriate response.
Add to that the fact that this is a developers' list (Note to self: Then why am I posting to this OT thread?), and the fact that it is very clearly labelled as such and I really do not see the problem here.
Now on fedora-list, I do believe that it is desirable to go out of one's way to be extra polite. On the fedora-list, we are Fedora's ambassadors to the rest of the world.
