... if somebody posts nonsense that's got nothing to do with any technical or otherwise relevant topics, just keep quiet, and s/he will go away.
What do you say though when someone posts:
"I can't use A because A is broken. I say A is broken because it can't do B, and every time I try to do C I get bugs 1, 2, and 3."
and then you go read bugs 1, 2, and 3 and test action B and discover that B is completely possible and bug 1 is a local configuration issue, while bugs 2 and 3 look to be real issues. Do you say nothing about B and bug 1? hoping that the user "goes away"? or do you try to show the user that B is actually possible if they actually used A.
Anyway, someone from the board is annoyed with the discussion and wants it stopped....
i wasn't talking about this type of case, where actual bugs and erroneous understanding are involved; these should be dealt with (according to me). i meant posts that don't have nothing to do with technical matters, re-citing often heard opinions & stuff, or repeating of wrong conclusions that have already been clarified, but the poster doesn't seem to get it into his or her head. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
