(i know i have to 'trim' the quotes, as Carlos, and maybe others do not want to read things twice, or are in a terrible hurry... but, sometimes it is more work to trim the quotes, than just scroll down, so for this time i am not going to mutilate this text...)
It's about being respectful of others and consideration, not about *your* time. *You* are imposing on other's time to solve *your* problems even thou the others are volunteering.
And i have had, often and much, very good help here, no doubt about that. It is just that sometimes the trend is: We have to help, but we don't like to, so we put the 'asker of questions' down, and make him read, tons and tons of literature, because he will have nothing else to do, than come, and ask questions on this list...
It you think that, your time is ill spent here and our's is completely wasted!
But: This is not for all of them. Sometimes they get carried away, but some, really try to understand what you try to establish, and give plain and simple, true answers. I am not going to name anyone.
Come'on now, call a spade a spade.
For me, i am sometimes in a hurry too. I want something, but that doesn't work the way i want, and i read and search, and before i know it the day is gone...
An educations is usually time costly :^)
I used to repair cars when i was young. I was very good at it. I'd like to repair old English sports-cars. From that time, i remember that there was absolutely no use in reading the workshop engine repair-manual, unless for the job you actually were performing at that time, that specific section. Measurements, torques, order to take apart, or put together, that kind of stuff... You have to have the manuals handy at all times, that is true. But read them like that, is like reading a phone-book.
Perhaps you would accomplish more with less embellishment of your posts and more staying to the *specific* subject. :^) Language deos not seem to be a problem, but comprehension and following directions does. After all, it's about having *fun*. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
