However, rather than scold, I suggest you open up your ears; It has for at least the 20 years I've been involved with computer software been true that the vast majority of software developers give short-shrift to installation and configuration issues the the serious detriment of the entire field. Developers DESPERATELY NEED to know about and feel the pain of people who have installation or configuration issues because it's primarily problems in installation and configuration that lead to project failures large and small. That said, things are generally getting better, in some cases _much_ better. Still, if you can't point the guy at the right place, maybe just listen. It's not like this list has hundreds of emails a day or anything. And, I assure you, if nobody answers his question, he'll go elsewhere.
