Look at the archives of the "newbies garage", and decide for yourself regarding the quality of replies there. Besides, how much do you pay the list subscribers per incident? Do you have a support contract with us? People answer questions on linux-il because they find it interesting. People read linux-il because they find it interesting. If people won't find the list interesting, noone will be there to answer questions. > saying "yo, ass hole, get your sorry ass off my back" will not do the good > reputation of this list any good. > This list has rules. Don't like them: find enough people who agree withyou and change them. But at the moemnt I believe that most people are satisfied with them. This list suffered from discussions that turned out to be too theoritical, and many of the list's subscribers didn't like them. This is why hackers-il was formed. (current issue there is malloc checking in various programming languages, if you find that interesting). This list suffered from too many newbies posts, which some of the list subscribers were willing to answer, and some found them a waste of their time. So gnubies-il was formed. You won't find there Ariel or Marc, but you will find there Mulix, me, and a number of other people among people who answered questions in linux-il today. I don't think that refering a question to gnubies-il is anything like showing the door. OK. This is enough noise aking from me... -- Tzafrir Cohen /"\ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Taub 229, 972-4-829-3942, X Against HTML Mail http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir / \ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
