I tend to agree...  Gripes about:  Mail clients, Newbies, Lack of knowledge,
and the "GOD LIKE" attitude of some of the members does not lead to a
friendly environment!!!  I myself have been snipped for using "that" email
client not clipping my posts!  I joined this group to discover the great and
wonderful world of Linux., not to have some ass**** bash me for my lack of
knowledge!!!!  Most of the members (99%) have been more than wonderful,
going out of there way to help someone.  It is too bad that a few bad apples
blah blah blah....  I myself really like the group, Meetings, Installfest,
Beer meetings, this is a good thing....  Jeremy's post should make a few
people think of how to treat others!  Not everyone is a "Super Linux Geek"!
I dunno, lest I ramble, maybe we should all look at WHY we are here in the
first please!!! (flame away)
