Even if > it's a language issue he can just say that... I don't really think that it's arrogant, as you put it, just not that helpf= ul. All I'm really saying is that it's good to try to maintain a friendly=20 atmostphere where people feel like they can post without feeling like they= =20 might be acting too silly. Perhaps some people are lazy, perhaps some aren'= t,=20 but like another poster said, you can just ignore the post if you don't lik= e=20 it. I'm a big fan of the "there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers" w= ay=20 of thinking. IMO this list should be as non-threatening for=20 people-who-want-to-find-out-stuff-they-don't-know as possible. :-) Pete. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
