Not so sure Steven.
Always figured
"FOSS software - a strong community"
always pointed to active development,
not necessarily use.
May we declare a moratorium on meta-discussions? If someone
doesn't
give enough info, ask them for more, and that's all. Going off on
top posting, depth of quoting, typos, etc makes the list a hostile
place.
I agree to a point, with the proviso a link to the guidelines should
be provides re tp.
If you don't have something nice or helpful to say, don't say
it.
If you need more info, ask for it. If you suspect they don't know
what they're doing, offer some assistance on how they can get that
info.
Quite frankly, if I were a newbie and I had a question and were met
with such hostility, I'd think twice about all that stuff about the
value of "the community".
I lurked for three years, before asking a question.
to gain some small knowledge from trial and error.
In the past I've got as much a broiling on Win lists for tp,
whatever the place, a guide is a guide.
