In this part of the world the response is to say, "You are entitled to your opinion, no matter what I think of it." Of course, you can infer from that what I thought of your kind suggestion.
You have an odd concept of "polite". I have a problem with a process on this system, I am willing to work with someone one-on-one to solve the problem and any resolution can then be posted back to the list. To me, that is far more "polite" to the list than generating a lot of chatter and wasted bandwidth whilst solving the problem. If that is selfish and self-serving, then I stand guilty as charged.

Fred,
It's the chatter we come for. Some of us. I am reminded of a respected professor once saying to me by way of justifying lectures, "Young man, it is a privilege to hear great minds think!" I sort of regard this list like that. Except when I'm posting, of course.
:)

What I was offering to do in the original reply was to go one-on-one with someone who could work with me real time, possibly with a login into this computer to do a "stare and compare". That could be done in a discussion list, I suppose. I could post pages of printouts of various directories here but I do not think that is appropriate. Others, of course, have other opinions. Something about many minds studying the problem at the same time, gestalt consciousness and all that. Maybe so, but I still don't think it's right to junk up a list. I also do not like the lag involved in troubleshooting via email. If it's the only thing available, so be it, but I don't like it. No, fixing the problem off list and then posting a detailed report to the list to inform whomever might be interested is the way to go, My opinion, of course. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
