If you dont want to answer or find the question wrong please dont answer. Why reply with banners and bad remarks against a guy who is new to linux kernel development. I understand some of the questions might be naive but i think we should not be derogatory to others. @Ankur, I completely agree with you. We should not be derogatory to others. I DO feel bad about what i did. I am not one to jump the gun to criticise someone; But i draw the line now that we see people(good people) leaving the list JUST because here is a person who has not made a single positive contribution and one who refuses to listen to what is repeatedly told to him - 1. To Google 2. To Read and 3. NOT to force his opinions on others (i.e NOT to contribute, NOT to reply simply to justify his actions and NOT to do anything else before doing 1 and 2). Dogfooding my own advise above gave me http://youtu.be/Q52kFL8zVoM How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too) Summary(for the bandwidth/time constrained) - People are poisonous unintentionally more often than not. - Good etiquette: - Avoid action paralysis. Stop asking; Stop trying to get it perfect. There is no try, Do. - Stop arguing with counter-opinions; Go ahead and DO it. SHARE it. THEN discuss it. - Do NOT monopolise threads by filibustering. - Do NOT be a lone-ranger pushing your opinion with every alternate reply in a thread. -CVS <start_of_keyboard_diarrhea> PS: One good i see coming out of this is that a lot of newcomers to the list are getting to read carefully-worded guidelines that describe ALL the things **NOT** to do here. PPS: Do you see why this is poisonous? How we ended-up spending our time and other people's attentions WITHOUT actually contributing a SINGLE thing to the technical discussion. PPPS: Can a moderator step-in and send in a consensus email that summarises what we do about this - something? anything? nothing? (if "nothing" then this is a democracy and everyone is free to do as they please and in due time we will tend to reach an unofficial consensus regarding how we deal with such behaviour here.) <End_of_keyboard_diarrhea> _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
