Old guard? I've been using Linux for less than 4 years. I didn't tell Jason not to post, but I thought he might want to make his posts more visible. I hardly think my comment could be considered chastisement. Having spoken with Jason in person multiple times, I do not think he received my post that way, but if he did, I would have been more than happy to explain my reasoning. It seems like you are inferring quite a bit.
