I actually did have a good idea, and posted it. The occasional helpful issue is pretty good. Houghi writing to them *privately* instead of in public, upsetting others, was the suggestion that I used. I did this in the public arena so that it can be an open discussion, and hopefully result in positive solutions. There is a line between helping on technical issues and moving them to other lists. The grey area exists in building community. I'm starting to perceive more of what appears to be a hostile attitude, not by one particular person but my more among the group. This is why I sounded off - to try to keep things positive as well as help others who may want to sound off on the debate. Depending on the level of the technical questions - see the "anything RIGHT with 10.1?" threads among others - sometimes general problems or even specific problem discussion can be helpful to the rest of the community. Also, I know tone is not conveyed in e-mail much so I'll give you an indication of my mood as well, which is constructive. =) RP Martin Schlander wrote:

don't - or do you think we should differentiate - and help some but not others?
Accepting technical questions on this list would effectively kill community building. Until now "spam" has been kept at a pretty low level - but only because we have been quick to redirect people to the correct mailinglist.
I say Houghi is doing an important and unpleasant task. If you have suggestions on how to make the message more polite please post them.
