more than anything else (certainly more than someone following or not following the conventions of a list or other community) it is persons holding every imaginable opinion with such fervor and "true belief" that causes the vast majority of problems:
here on the list, by spewing vitriol and anger and wasting our time with fighting about non-sense that is held to religiously
and in the larger society, as well ....

It sounds like you missed the point of that line. Which was not the line itself but the NEXT couple of lines, wherein I said that I top-post when the environment demands it, regardless of my personal views. Lets clarify that even more for the simple, _I_ was saying exactly the same thing that you just said, which is that my personal view doesn't really matter in that context and so it would be stupid to press it in that context, and so I don't. Maybe learn to read before attempting to comment on what you read? It's kind of unflattering to yourself say you disagree with something and then go on to say exactly the same thing. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
