So, seeing as how I am not some rich corporation that can afford stupid amounts of bandwidth exactly HOW am I supposed to distribute it any other way? Nobody gave ANY information in this regard until I had been properly flamed first.
That's because it's widely known and easily available. No one knew you needed help with this until you mentioned it. At that point, all sorts of suggestions for help came up, but you've so far chose to ignore then.
It ISN'T widely known. I've been one of the "lurkers" on this list, and until about a month ago visited the site regularly. Never ocne did I know that there was a wiki that I could have used to post the document to. In fact, I didn't know until someone was kind enough to point it out off-list, I might add.
This is the FIRST time anyone has taken offense at my manner of transport for my document.
Your earlier message contradicts this. Remember, *we can check*!
In *this* thread, people weren't offended by your method of transport -- just perplexed.
You really do seem to have an atiitude problem, and have already taken up far too much of the bandwidth on this - usually helpful and good mannered
- list.
THAT is why I posted to the list. Because I *THOUGHT* that it was usually helpful and good mannered. Apparently there's some secret handshake involved in getting a HELPFUL and GOOD MANNERED response that I am unaware of. Because I got neither until after I'd been flamed.
Well, you should maybe step back and consider what the unique factor is in this case.
Well, considering that this isn't the first time that I have distributed documents in this manner. The only unique factor is my audience.

It is *widely* know that there are many, many places on the internet where you can publish helpful information for free. Even if you didn't know about CentOS-specific resources, you had but to ask.
