Please say hello to him for me ;-). I realize I may have sounded somewhat harsh, but that was not my intention. And I do not think what you said is fair, either. We have had quite a few end user questions on this list, but I do not seem to recall any of the names of the book writers, whose books are presumably aimed at these people, answering them. Granted, core coders may be busy bunch of people, and the questions and comments from new people sometimes tend to be lost in flurry of patch floods. I and other core coders would have greatly appreciated if non-coder experts like yourself helped these threads that have never panned out. I am not complaining. This cuts both ways. The patch floods do tend to discourage new people from asking basic questions, and lack of answers even more so. But it is not healthy for people who design and code not to hear end user feedback. I personally would want to see the list traffic to be inclusive. The people who design the new features and write code should have easy access to the issues the users of all levels have with the software and the documentation (and what they find useful as well). What I am most afraid of is that both "We do not bother the coders" and "We are too busy to answer every newbie question" mentalities would lead to a fractured community. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
