I think it's entirely appropriate to redirect someone when better help is available elsewhere. That it happens to be to another openSUSE forum or list, that's life, we chose it that way.
You choose to use e-mail lists, Per, and that's fine - others in overwhelming numbers use the forums: We currently have 56769 registered users there.
This isn't about the medium, Jim - it's about where the best help can be found. When someone advises me that I'd get a better answer elsewhere, it's my problem if I choose to ignore that advice.
But it *is* about the medium, Per. If the users aren't comfortable with or don't like the medium where help is provided, they'll avoid it like the plague. You might give the best possible help on all aspects of openSUSE, but if you make the users jump through hoops that *they* feel are unnecessary, they simply *will not do it*.
Then they clearly *don't* want help. If I want help, but I flatly refuse to use the communication means by which help is available, I don't really need it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
