I tend to agree... Gripes about: Mail clients, Newbies, Lack of knowledge, and the "GOD LIKE" attitude of some of the members does not lead to a friendly environment!!! I myself have been snipped for using "that" email client not clipping my posts! I joined this group to discover the great and wonderful world of Linux., not to have some ass**** bash me for my lack of knowledge!!!! Most of the members (99%) have been more than wonderful, going out of there way to help someone. It is too bad that a few bad apples blah blah blah.... I myself really like the group, Meetings, Installfest, Beer meetings, this is a good thing.... Jeremy's post should make a few people think of how to treat others! Not everyone is a "Super Linux Geek"! I dunno, lest I ramble, maybe we should all look at WHY we are here in the first please!!!
