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.
Please do not toppost. Writing to people privatly will not result in the much needed effect. Now some people will see where to go and NOT post an answer or directly go to suse-linux-e.
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.
Considering technical questions, there realy is no grey area. Technical questions go to suse-linux-e. Community questions to openSUSE. If you have a questions that contains both, see if it has anything technical in it. If it has, it should go to suse-linux-e
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.
They sure can. If you stat with a negative question as a subject, I don't think that is very helpfull to anybody. As if asking when somebody stopped beating their wife.
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.
I know. So if the tone of my standard reply is too harsh, please tell me how to soften it, without loosing its meaning. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
