Oh, and another thing. Before anyone else doubts my "experience level", let it be known that I have been using Ubuntu since the days of Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger", back in the days of dial-up, when they used to send you 10 CD's, (5 install cd's and 5 livecd's), and have been a continuous user of the Ubuntu operating system since. And I have also been an active user of the Gentoo Linux operating system since about that time. I have created my own linux system from source code, using the LFS tutorials, which, believe me, is not as easy as it sounds. It takes around 3 days to do it correctly. I have been an active member of the Ubuntu forums, the Ubuntu Brainstorm site, as well as an ISO tester in the Ubuntu QA team, as well as the forums at linuxforums.com and the Gentoo forums. I know that people online tend to be extremely touchy for some reason, and misunderstandings occur often, which is why I always try to keep an "extra nice" personality during online conversations, precisely in order to prevent any misunderstandings. Yet, I have never used my experience as an excuse to attack a newcomer. In fact, I take pride in the fact that no matter how irritating the questions of any person is, I have always replied in a civil manner. New members are the potential gurus of tomorrow, and to scare them away for not being "l33t" enough, is in my opinion, an extremely childish and immature thing to do. Not even in the Gentoo forums have I had seen any evidence of such behaviour, and Gentoo users have the image of being elitists. I don't even call myself an "expert". I always seek to learn from others, no matter how young/inexperienced they may be. Yet, this is the first time I have been attacked for being "too nice", and for being supposedly "inexperienced". Of course, it just *HAD* to be a fellow Bangladeshi who does this, didn't it? You tell me to check the mailing lists to see whose experience level is what, Mr. Shabab Mustafa. I _have_ checked them. Here is what I found. The list was started on April 2006. I, started using Ubuntu around that time. It was not, as you put it, "before we even heard of Ubuntu". At least, not in my case. Your first ever post was on Tue Jun 17 11:04:30 BST 2008. I had joined the ubuntu-bd group in 2007-09-28, or, 28th September, 2007. A full 9 months before you, Mr. Shabab Mustafa. And you tell *me* to check the "experience level" of others. I have found all the members extremely kind and polite, until your laughable post, telling me to check the "experience level" of others. Well, Mr. Shabab Mustafa, Chief Administrative Officer, Admin Office, CapsLock Corporates, let me tell you that I do not need to take any advice from you or others similar to you. I know that I have already replied to your mail once, but having thought the matter over, I decided that I didn't have to sit and take it like a passive victim, apologizing over and over again for something which is not even *remotely* my fault. I haven't broken the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. I haven't broken the rules of our society. I haven't broken the rules of our religion. I don't see why I should take the old, old practice of always apologizing to "keep the peace", even when it is not my fault. I don't have to apologize for your rudeness. I don't care if you think my answer to be rude or offensive, Mr. Shabab Mustafa. It has to be said.
