Well, I did ask a question a while back about software vs hardware RAID
and it did result in what I think of as the "RAID Wars" thread.
There was a fair amount of argument involved. But the answers I got,
after I sifted through them, pointed me to an answer that has worked
well for me and for the customer on behalf of whom I was asking
question.
So, as an end user asking for help, even that small flame war was
beneficial to me.
That, in contrast to mailing list flame wars which *don't* do anyone any
good, reflects well on the quality of this list.
I apologize for the contributing to what could be considered to be a
rather off-topic thread. But as things are unusually quiet today, it
seems harmless enough.
I guess that my point is that flame wars around here are worth as much
as what's considered to be constructive interaction on some higher
volume lists.
