As the underlying system becomes more and more complex, and my use case further and further out of the mainstream, I find myself able to give less and less help. That said, I'll add the following to your excellent point above. People who have no gumption, and expect to be spoon fed everything they want, and get whiny and caustic when it is not. Like I'm their personal servant or something. I suppose that comes out of an inflated sense of their own importance. I often wonder what their mother and father were like to raise someone so self-centered. People asking questions that have been answered over and over again on the list, demonstrating that they haven't even done a search.. Again, they are saying that their time and needs are more important than mine, whether they are consciously aware of that or not. I suspect this as being one of the main causes of burnout for helpers on Fedora and the web in general. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
