John, I believe that you have summed up well enough the image that the person posting on this list as "Victor" stated as his position. What you are not saying is how obvious it is that he knows VERY little about Linux and/or Unix in any form. The questions he has been posting make it obvious that he is painfully lacking in practical experience in any OS that is subject to discussion on this list.
The lack of knowledge is fine; not everyone is an expert. The laziness and sloth, however, isn't fine. I can't speak for others, but my specific issue with the whole entitlement thing is the fact that some people are just plain lazy and refuse to lift a finger or exert any effort to help themselves and yet expect others to do so for them. Sorry, I don't play that game. Had he shown *any* effort to resolve these issues on his own most people would have gone the extra mile to help him.
As such, I have resorted to just deleting without any consideration any message from him, and most of those in threads I recognize as started by him.
I had already planned on bit-bucketing him until I saw his latest reply and it rankled to the point that I needed to say something, however out of place and unwanted my comments might have been.
