From: "Charlie Summers" <charlie@lofcom.com>
particularly interested in instructing you, since you have shown you will take the exact opposite position of _anything_ I say,
I can agree with this one (on empirical basis) :) And I did not ask for any instruction.
and have proven in the past you would rather have other people do your work for you than learn how to do it on your own, thereby losing my respect.
As I recall, I wanted a specific answer to a specific question of the kind "I did this and this and this, did I do something wrong?" (which as it turned out, I did not). I'm commited to learn to operate all the software I use. I don't see where you got the idea I wanted other people to do the work. Look, I'm tired too. The bigger question is: Do we give answers to people, or do we critisise their questions. Maybe, the other subscribers can decide? I would like this discussion to stop too, so here's my proposition: - When people have a question about a particular solution, we commit to either give the solution, refer to the FAQ or refrain from answering *to the list*. - Any meta-comments about the question, like about whether one should want what they want, can be sent to the individual sender. It's a petty mr Summers did not answer my questions about dictatorship and democracy. Well, maybe another time. Jelmer Jellema (not here to fuck this list, this is a sincere concern).
