If nobody here has ACTUAL problems to talk about, why don't you
unsubscribe from the list and stop wasting your time with us? :) It's a
mailing list for discussing issues, and comments are far more relevant
when they do not boil down to: "I don't have anything intelligent to say,
so I'm going to belittle your concerns without saying anything
constructive about why I disagree."
As far as I've heard, LinuxChix was created to provide a forum for those
who are interested in Linux but tired of the harsh "penis war" environment
the average Linux forum entails. If you aren't in search of this sort of
"kindler, gentler" (and perhaps more intelligent) realm, maybe slashdot
would better suit your needs.
