Your messages to the list fail to observe basic email and mailing list 
netiquette. The replies to you were rude because your emails, including 
this one, are rude. This is an important lesson to learn in life. When 
you think "people are being nasty to me" then ask yourself why, and work 
out what you did that might have caused them to be nasty. Such as top 
posting.

"I'm was"?

Anyway. We should not have to ask you for this. You need to provide this 
info up front.

What on Earth is an "orphan" meant to be in the context of a Linux 
distro? I've been using Linux since 1995 and Unix since 1988. I do not 
know this word.

Your messages, including this, are provocative in multiple ways. I 
suggest to you that rather than complaining -- twice! -- in a single 
mail, you stop and think what you did to get this response.

Bye then.

I believe the kids say:

This is not an airport. You do not have to announce departures.
