Sure . . . fyi . . . I didn't intend to open the "moral basket," but
as many have rightfully pointed out, this is not a business. We, the
Debian/openSource community are not in business. We're working with a
system that suits us and are willing to help those who help
themselves. If you're looking for a handout/handhold . . . well . . .
it seems to me that many on this list are willing to do that, (again)
despite the obvious repetition of the topic. No biggy . . . again,
I've not been here that long, but since the topic was (in some sense)
raised, I bother to bother. Should I be nice, in the sense that I make
sure to be polite when I suggest that someone read the docs (that have
been painstakingly (sp?) put together)?
