I must say, that is the best post I've seen yet. I totally agree. We need to be constructive. To flame someone for flaming to the list is pointless. If someone posts such a post, why couldn't, especially someone on the development team, just say, "Hey, we are concerned with fixing problems. Can you please post some details and we can help you out?" Instead of starting off with why the person's post is wrong, and what they screwed up. The person had a problem, it might, just possibly be a coding problem. So maybe we as a community should listen to users. Yes I'd prefer the user originally phrase it properly too, but it's not a perfect world. Either part of converting everyone to RedHunk Linux, or part of the solution?
