There's no need to ask on "technical" mailing lists about it because that's something it comes with the common sense in all life matters. > I'm truly surprised you'd argue this point as it's universally > understood/accepted support mailing list etiquette. The only universally accepted everywhere is politeness. Period. When you break that simple rule (and you break it too many often), the rest is superfluous. And no, it's not a valid point that you said "hey, but I pointed the OP to the solution". Yes, of course, like many of us also did without having to add crap over the user. > But after reading the rest of this, which I snipped to reduce > resources, it seems clear you will simply argue every point I make, > whether you're right or wrong, because you are apparently so irritated > at me that you equate agreeing with anything I say to slitting your own > wrists or walking through fire. One thing is for true: I'm irritated when someone starts arguing against unrelated and personal thought that only hurt the user. There are ways and ways for replying and I guess you are capable enough to say the things you think in a more "satirical" -yet friendly- way. > If you want to call me a jerk then do so. I don't recall to have used that term. > But don't argue the wrong side of an issue simply to show your disdain > by being a contrarian. That does disservice to your reputation. It's just a matter of taste: you think the point is all around a user that is (using your own words) "lazy" or "unqualified" while I think the problem is around the attitude you show in this mailing list. > Burying this thread is way overdue.
