As far as the latter, you might re-think your singularity focus. As I've said before, you can't complain about me without complaining about others too. I.e., I try to point out things with_out_ going down into the tangent. Then people "get smart" with me believing what I say is not true. I can then either "let it go" and then people dismiss my offering of my experience and knowledge. Or I can correct them with the tangent. It's a catch-22 for all of us. > If people want to feed the trolls, please, for the love of all that's > holy, trim your posts. 8-) The funniest thing is that when people define what a "troll" is, they aren't just defining it for myself. Your partiality has been noted. ;-> > Sigh, this is the first technical list filter I've ever had to > implement (for email...usenet is another story). No offense but sometimes the "popular" thought or ignorance is worse than the so-called "distractive" discussion that sheds some light on it. People are building servers with CentOS. This stuff is pertinent. I do _not_ introduce it myself, but when it comes up, I _will_ offer my recommendations based on experience and background. If you see people only as "feeding" my so-called "trollish nature," then maybe that's a sign you're not looking at the real issue. I'm not innocent, and I'll _never_ claim to be. But some others are very guilty of wanting many tangents and are posting just as much as I in a thread! Think about it. ;-> -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org
