Bridge burning

[Nikolas Kallis <nik@nikolaskallis.com>]

Hello,



I just spotted this on the Debian forum:

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=105456


As you can see, someone (who is obviously new to Linux) came and asked a 
perfectly valid question, and had their thread locked despite them not 
breaking any rules.

This shouldn't have happened. Debian is a community driven operating 
system and the more people that use/contribute to it, the better it will 
become.

Shooting down peoples posts because *oh this question is always asked* 
should not happen. Whilst others may have participated in many similar 
topics, the 'noob' question is always going to be asked - its a natural 
question, especially in a distro-world.

Shooting down someone who is showing interest in Debian is a great way 
to burn bridges and prevent Debian from prospering. This arrogance needs 
to stop.
