I disagree. It was an honest attempt to be helpful and nothing snotty was
included in the text. As I explained, I wanted MG to understand the first
three replies to the post and learn how to get the best answers here. It
was on topic because of that. There is nothing childish about what
you call my "agenda", and , in fact, it isn't my agenda, it's the
netiquette and code of conduct of the Ubuntu lists, I didn't make it up.
You may not agree with it, or abide by it but the people who follow it do
get good help here and they can find it among the cruft.
