Re: [FLAME!!!] Re: downloading software
Hello all.
no need for flames, rubbing organs (as fun as that can be) or any other
violently joyful events.
There is a balancing problem here, and it is an old one I guess.
The solution is simple:
seperate the list into 2 lists:
newbie-linux-il
veteran-linux-il
it is IMHO much better to have a list for newbies, and volunteers
to take responsibility to answers newbie questions (even, or espescialy
when all they do is ask another veteran to answer this) than to give
sporadic email-addresses as "consultants", and in the end I think it
will probably ease the load on the volunteers.
note, a volunteer can definitely tell the asker "this is a veteran
hacker question, please post it in the veteran's list", wether directly
or thruogh the newbie list (a positive flame ...).
a simple (simplistic ?) solution, but maybe it'll work.
