Again, I do not see how:is a suggestion that is helpful to this thread, and anything other than a "Gold Supporter" being an ass.
Hmm, not quite sure what you want to point out with that statement? Could you make this clear for me?
mary and Stafano, I can't stress enough a couple of lessons I have learnt over my time
- If you haven't got something nice to say then don't say anything at all.
Either Mary nor Stephano haven't been unpolite to you. As you said, you managed other Linux OSs before. (Btw, are you a network admin, or did you manage a workstation?) And - what did you expect? What is in your opinion the "nice way"?
- No one likes being told they are lazy or an idiot, and never assume that they are either other these things
Again, no one told you that you are lazy or an idiot. The advice was, to investigate your own time in things that are already documented. Or to open a bug.
Think about these points before you critcise me, or any other person trying to use these forums for their intended purpose.
As you are the one who needs advice, you should be the one with patience and politeness. As you remarked:
No, this is a support forum, and yes it is free. I am using this site for it's intended purpose, whilst you bignote yourself by putting less experienced users down.
So, imho you are the one, who should treat those ones, who answers on your questions, with respect.
Goodbye
stefan
