I'd like to share the contents of the messages with you. Some mailing

Interesting, jdow, but I rather saw him, and now you, as a
bother.
Kindly never write me here again or I'll contact the list manager.
John Lowell
Oh, how terrifying!
Now you just go ahead and waste your time trying to do exactly that.
I'm afraid that it is you who is the wrong here.
you moron. you want abuse, you'll get it.
pull your head in and shut up.
and grow up.

Earlier today, I posted a simple yes-or-no question to to the list

got back a lecture and some abuse from a Michael Schwendt. After a
couple of additional, similar messages from him, I specifically
told him
in the clearest possible terms not to contact me again. He has,
nevertheless. Has anyone else here ever been similarly annoyed by Mr.
Schwendt?
John Lowell
Look you moron, can you take your childish and petty groaning
elsewhere?
Please don't pollute the mailing lists with your crap.
Michael was being helpful. You just took "rtfm" totally the wrong
way.
And you should have rtfm as he indicated, it was a rather silly
question that you asked anyway.
sheet!
Yeah, this is going to the list manager alright.
John Lowell
Normally I keep my mouth shut, but this is too much. My Brother is an
RHCE, and will not answer my questions until I've exhausted all
available resources. If you have not tried your very best to find the
answer, then dont expect someone to just hand it to you on a silver
platter.(its the only way to learn, do it for yourself) READ the Man
Pages, FIRST ! , then check tldp.org , then try a google/linux search
, check sourceforge, read through the mailing list archives, after
you've tried all that, have read everything you can, Then post a well
written question here, with all the references needed to get the exact
answer your looking for.
PS: and please , whinning will not get you anywhere on here, unless
all you ever want to hear from everyone is "RTFM". Good Luck Jim
McConnell
Jim,
Why not stick to your normal practice, you were doing better that way.
