Hi,

The attitude here by the "Senior" members in this thread are deplorable.

You don't want to provide an answer, don't provide one but do not belittle the person or give the " you need to search" reply.

Do you, in your infinite wisdom, know if the OP has or has not done a search?

Not everyone is a techie or has hours to pour over the many threads and techno speak to get a clean concise answer.

Really makes for a very intimidating and very inhospitable place for people seeking knowledge.

I had the impression that a forum such as this was here for precisely this reason.

Guess it really is for pointing out that users need to suffer with the high and mighty attitudes of those with the knowledge but unwilling to take the time to maybe go over the same information more than once.

Being a newbie here to the NIT and Linux in general, I certainly am not feeling I can ask a question and just get the answer I am looking for without the attitudes expressed above.

People skills are needed along with the tech skills you all may possess.

I see the need for the new site but it is a shame it is needed when one site is so much more convenient.

Now the flaming will commence.

Enjoy.


David
