I basically do what works and I do > learn from my experience (sometimes :-/). Joseph, Folks that work on precise computer problems are often "raw" with one another. "Sarcasm" is an ointment that soothes the pain of running Gentoo. Verbal abuse develops "thick skin" and most here on Gentoo User have "thick skin", imho. Devs on this list often question the gentoo-user base to ferret out if they need to modify docs, codes or semantics at Gentoo, or if the user needs. Sometime it does resemble a court room. "Alan's school of admin abuse" type of treatment to motivate an excellent user base is not uncommon. That said, the amount of questions and bandwidth you have incurred on this group, does warrant administrative incursion into you admin policies, imho. Maybe, just maybe, folks actually care that you are wisely successful with Gentoo? For example since you are distributing, you really need to keep binaries packages on at least one system. I nuked python, some years ago. It was only the files on another similar system that prevent me form a new installation of the system. Besides, I rather think you are being "groomed" to become a gentoo dev, so you can abuse the rest of of (gentoo users) commoners? hth, James
