What I've noted is a tendency to short, less informative answers, a tendency to react defensively, deny or debate reports of difficulties and just a general level of snarkiness. I don't think the list has seen a massive influx of windows converts (who, even if we want to, shouldn't be treated like idiots), I could be wrong. This isn't a "them" and "us" situation. Please, lets try not to turn it into one. I for one, even if I don't write patches, do contribute by doing bug reports, buying the boxed set and doing all I can to promote Suse in my workplace. Even if these contributions aren't globally visible and well known, what does it hurt to ask a question or two if you didn't get enough information to help, or just not answer at all if all you can respond with is a nasty RTFM.
Here's a suggestion. Don't suddenly turn on people who are trying to help you and accuse them of playing games and starting a pissing contest becuase _you_ screwed something up. Quite frankely if people were being "snarky" with you, it's because you were being a wanker. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
