RE: Apache2 Manhattan Virtual Classroom
Ok Roberto,
Fair enough, I think we both want to accomplish the same thing here. A) find
answers to our problems. B) Try and help others find answers to their
problems. C) Be as courteous as possible when trying to achieve A&B. I think
my frustration with the new distribution learning curve may be perhaps
getting to me. I think I am just going to step away for a few days. I have
looked at the "list" of consultants. I may even try that avenue, but I would
really like to be able to solve this on my own, with a little help from my
friends.

You misunderstand my tone. It is not uncommon on this list to find people
who downright expect that every person on this list should jump to respond
to a query or question or that this list should provide the same level of
service as a Gold support contract from Sun. Also, please be aware that
there are many times where requests go unanswered for a multitude of
reasons, including: a) no one knows about the topic at hand; b) someone does
know but does not have time/is not reading list mails/whatever; c) the
individual appears to be "mooching." I think your situation was a
combination of items 'a' and 'b'. I don't think 'c' applies since you are
new to the list and new users are generally not perceived as taking unfair
advantage of people on the list except under extreme circumstances.
My intent was not to flame to or be angry, but to simply remind/inform you
that:
1) if you need guaranteed results, you should hire someone
2) using an abusive/combative tone will not likely gain you any friends (the
old you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar)
My apologies if I came off as angry, it has been a long few weeks for me.
Regards,
-Roberto
