We have a wonderful distro, and an excellent community -- I hope that
a few negative voices will not detract from that.

I agree, and it's a real shame. The mood of the mailing lists is much more
polite, but those in #opensuse are plain elitist. They are rude to people when
they don't know the answer, and expect you to know the SUSE way even if you
have years of experience with other distros.

Today, a relatively simple question (how to allow Windows AD and Samba to
share users etc and get rights for files on Linux - an op said "No one cares"
when the answer was simply "change group ownership to sambausers" - it's a
disgrace.) Another situation, someone was asking about Symphony OS, the same
op suggested they forget about that project because it's going nowhere. It's
hardly that persons position to state such things.

When I called this op on what I saw as ill behavior, I was informed I would be
banned from the channel if I questioned them again.
