Please refrain from the personal attacks abuse. There ls MORE than enough of this on this list as it is. If you are having a bad day.. fine, but don't take it out on list members. Oh, and I assure you I am not Patrick.
So, explain to me how all replies to your thread ended up interleaved into a completely different thread. It started with Rainer Klier replying to Bruce's question, but referring to the wrong thread.
Per, Thank you for the vindication. At this point, the thread has been well and thoroughly polluted for no good effect in support of what is essentially a pedantic bit of tom foolery. I will always take responsibility for an error or poor behavior on my part. Just as I will always stand up vigorously if falsely accused and will NEVER accept such quietly or politely. Had I not mounted a vigorous defense of myself, you would likely not have been intrigued enough to investigate. Had I been a newer user, I might well have slunk off with the impression that help wasn't here. I've been a Linux user since 1993, a SuSE user since 2002 and a history going back into the '80s of offering and receiving technical assistance through mailing lists. Until the last few years, I've never seen this type of behavior tolerated. The thinly veiled personal attack that I feel the hijack "accusation" represents, I see as seriously damaging... Not to me per se, but for the "helpful environment" of the list and the opensuse community as a whole. I've got pretty thick skin and give as good as I get. Newer people, not so much I fear.
