Scrapo spake thusly:
People will join this list if they want to know about GNU/Linux and share some time with people of similar tastes /regardless of other things/.
Just to put things in perspective, I had asked who is RMS and got very angry answers. I would have been happy to have read the 10 questions Faq. Btw, I had also asked if there was any substitute to vb in linux and got properly flame. Someone in the list did come to my resque, though and did support me for asking.
That's the whole point. There people of many types here with differing tolerance levels. Some will flame you, other will help you. But even the flames help show you some different facets of the community, it's culture of appreciating quality etc.etc. The code of conduct we develop and display defines us. We exist only virtually and *that* (it is represented physically by the emails we exchange) is all which is there to show that we ever existed.
Which is why so many of us are rather fastidious.
