Not quoting is perfect, as you are not replying to some thing specific that has been said :-)
I have no wish to point fingers as, being an Asperger's sufferer, I am far from perfect from a social interaction aspect but it seems that this thread is starting to get a little heated and bordering on the verge of personal attacks.
You are not the only one with interpretation difficulties for one reason or another ;-)
I am not trying to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do or what they should or shouldn't say as I am well aware that what is considered acceptable ways to speak to someone varies from one culture to another but I do think that maybe people should try and sit back for a second before hitting the send button and consider whether they would say what they are writing directly to someone's face and whether it is acceptable behaviour.
That's true. At the same time, a person of one culture may consider as offensive what someone of another culture wrote without imagining that what he wrote could be considered offensive, being normal behaviour in his culture. (If you want to see offensive replies, try to ask a newby question on the ffmpeg list)
I know I haven't contributed much to either the mailing list or the project in general in many ways so feel free to ignore this email but I am hoping that this may highlight what this looks like from a point of view of someone from the outside who could well be looking at this on an archive while trying to consider if they consider openSUSE to be a worthwhile recipient of there time and effort.
