I appreciate that you probably don't know, but who might "the Linux crowd" be ? Is it the postfix guys, the mariadb gang or the kernel crew ? or the kde users ?
Hey, I was trying to be mocking :-) To complain in Usenet that the Linux crowd is rough, when in Usenet you can easily be insulted every other day, and the number of trolls to avoid is large, is somewhat ridiculous. I think that person was referring to some user help mail list or forum, maybe on Ubuntu or Debian - I don't know the actual groups or distributions he was referring to, I have not saved that post and I have forgotten the details. What I'm sure is that he had not tried openSUSE. I encouraged him to try us. (I have been grossly insulted at my own home by a person that loves Debian and considers me using openSUSE a gross mistake and agravance. I had to eject that person from my premises. Just saying.)
I re-iterate that we (openSUSE) have to be inclusive, not exclusive, that is important to me. For one group, i.e. users of one means of communication, to whine about another ditto is just weird.
Wrt mailing lists, we have more than a hundred, and I expect the "environment" varies enormously across them.
Painting e.g. all of our forums members or all of our mailing list subscribers or all of our discord ditto with one broad brush is simply wrong.
Agreed :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
