Thus the fedora-users list doesn't even slightly resemble the other
lists that you mentioned and it seems to be an unreasonable expectation
that you have.
IMHO those who are totally inexperienced end-users may be better off
with Ubuntu or Mint. Given the cutting edge nature of this project it
seems less suited for inexperienced end-users. The other projects I
mentioned also get their fair share of n00bs. Nothing wrong with being a
n00b. In many areas I am sure I am a n00b too. Yet those projects seem
quite successful in maintaining how they want their Community to
interact. Don't see why it's unreasonable to expect an on-topic mailing
list.
I tend to have a high tolerance for eccentric people but a low
tolerance
for those who treat the list like a resource for their school homework
rather than actually make an attempt to obtain the answers but I guess
Yeah the homework questions are always quite obvious.
everyone has their own flash points. Despite the obvious
meanderings,
Linda does have a genuine interest in using Fedora, has repeatedly
demonstrated some in depth knowledge of Linux and Fedora and has done
research.
Agree to disagree. I see someone who is trolling and/or has some wires
cross-connected.
I don't share your obvious contempt for her presence and think
you have been unnecessarily harsh but you don't have to please
any of
us.
Contempt? Nope, life's too short for that. If it's unnecessarily harsh
to point out the official purpose of this list and mailing list
guidelines then again let's agree to disagree.
