Browse through the archives and you'll see SuSE people answering lots of questions and I don't think it's fair to claim that we don't.
I don't believe I ever claimed that SuSE employees or list-readers generally don't answer questions. Obviously they do. I merely pointed out the number of (what I viewed as) legitimate questions that don't get answered and tried my best to suggest a means by which SuSE and the list could do better. Given the high volume of the list, if only 60 dead threads appear weekly, then the list's percentage is actually quite good. I just thought it possible we could find a way to do even better. Apparently everyone wants to either 1) assume I have some mal-intent in merely recommending a means of improving things. or 2) merely list off the countless problems/hazards/roadblocks to my suggestion rather than consider the possibility it could have any merit whatsoever and join in a process of overcoming the potential problems. I'm baffled as to why this is the case, but I'm content to drop it, since it was apparently such a roundly hated idea. P.S. I paid SuSE directly for my SuSE 8.0 Pro (to whomever also wanted to cast aspersions at my obvious attempt to get something for nothing.) -- Brian Support EFF! http://www.eff.org/ They're defending YOUR rights online.
