First off, I do not appreciate you putting words into my mouth!  That I find
VERY disrespectful!

I was trying to help those who were having issues with it because maybe some
people want to use
submount?

Didn't do your research?????  There is a article in the SuSE Portal that
will tell you how to do it.

If you are having a bad day, please vent it elsewhere.  All I was trying to
do is help a few people
with this issue.  If they felt the same way as you, then all they would have
to do is tell me to back off
and I will respectfully do so.

I DID NOT create submount nor do I work for SuSE!  If you are so bent out of
shape about this, please send them
the nasty email!  If I misinformed someone and need to be corrected, then
correct me.  But this type of a response is neither
productive or useful!
