I have put up with the belittling for some time now. I have come to believe that some have nothing better to do than belittle others........

It's the same old debate: Do you forgive all the crap and nonsense and let the list devolve into drivel or to you ride herd on the newbies in order to instruct them on the way intelligent list interactions are carried on? I'm in the latter camp.

Oh yes, Randall. By all means let's ride herd on those sniveling little idiots. Maybe let's divide into two camps: we'll just call yours the camp of hubris, and maybe the other the camp of assistance.
I used to actively suggest to acquaintances and friends that they try the SUSE distro, and this list was the primary reason, that they could get understanding assistance from some knowledgeable people willing to help the newbie on a very steep learning curve. I do not do that anymore. I still recommend the distro, not the list. I suggest they read the books but I do not mention this list, until they become so committed to the distro use that I feel they will be willing to put up with the derogation and arrogance just to get some questions answered.
And that is my .02.
