Why do you find it necessary to attempt to characterize what you feel
someone else feels or thinks?

As far as I can tell, I am simply repeating what you've already
said/claimed...and added a bit of an editorial comment.

You did say the only reason you decided to "help" me was because I had
corrected my mistake.  Yes?  So, I'm simply saying that as long as
nobody corrects themselves you'll not feel the need to come to their
aid.  Which I personally find to be a good thing.  I don't think anyone
on this list is looking for help in grammar or writing style.

FWIW, the only reason I found it necessary to correct myself is due to
the possibility of my mistake being taken as a proper linux command by
the OP.  Since I have no knowledge of his experience level I wanted to
make sure that he understood I meant "yum" and not "you".  I wanted to
avoid the possibility of him coming back and telling me that he ran the
command I suggested and got back "bash: you: command not found...".

Now, would you like to get back our regularly scheduled programming or
do you really need to have the last word.
