Gertjan, you know what, I'll put up my one _single_ simple TW question from a week back and see if anyone has an answer that resolves the issue. If so, I shall quit opensuse@o.o _immediately_ If not, you have been proven wrong. Will a week be sufficient time?
Please don't. This will be very boring without you ;-)
[off-topic, my apologies, but I think the reply belongs here]
Haha, well - yes I _was_ disappointed that a simple TW issue could not be resolved on opensuse@o.o.
Tonight Gertjan made a suggestion and it worked! My one simple TW problem _has_ been resolved. Remarkably, all of the posts in the thread I opened were from people who also 'frequent' opensuse@o.o. All people I know and respect.
I noticed ;-) And many if not all of those read this thread as well ;-p
In hindsight, my promise was to quit opensuse@o.o was of course downright silly. Apart from my once-in-a-blue-moon TW question, everything else I am interested in is generally best discussed there. In March 2021 when I might have another TW question, I'll make sure to post it to opensuse-support@o.o :-)
To return to $SUBJ - I still maintain splitting the community was a bad idea. There are new communication platforms emerging virtually every day, adding to the confusion was wholly unnecessary and not in the best interest of the community.
I know a very few people that post on Usenet (not the news.o.o site, but real old usenet) who refuse to post on any mail list or forum. Just saying :-p Which is a pity because some of the problem posted are too complicated for me. I say to ask here but they never do. Once I got one or two to create a bugzilla. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.0 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
