Still I think the original poster should do more than just say that "my device reboots". He should explain what version he is using, did he install any applications, what kind of network environment he has etc. It would take only 10 minutes of his time but it would have helped a lot. > Asking him to search Bugzilla and/or read a FAQ for Diablo might > have been good answers, as would be "First I've heard of it - looks > like you'll have to dig deeper", which is probably what I'd've said.

But Igor gave a good link to the original poster and all he got back was flaming. Well, that wasn't nice. Original poster spent one minute writing the email, Igor spent a second with the reply. Had the original poster spent 10 minutes writing the email, Igor might have very well spent a minute writing a (better) answer. What I'm trying to say here is that there's a correlation how much time you spend on solving the problem and how good answers you get. -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
