I didn't directly call the person who wrote this question an idiot but as they say "If the shoe fits...." All I said was that the person should feel shame. Does anyone disagree with that statement?

The TOP link is http://www.mn-linux.org if you click that link you get *GASP* the LUG website which CLEARLY has links to the mailing lists and thier archives. Was asking a crime? No. But will said person think twice and perhaps exercise a little reason and conduct some research before posting a question that they (admittedly) knew was not exactly a tough one to answer.... > I read that sentence over and over again and I can't see the insulting > part in it.
