24 I completely understand your point but in my case, after about a
25 decade ongentoo-user, I quit posting gentoo-user completely due to the
26 attitudes of some folks there, flame posts, put-downs, etc. I have no
27 idea how it is now but I have no real desire to go back there.
28
29 The two things I really value about this list are the quality of posts
30 as well as the very civil way folks treat each other.
31
32 Just my 2 cents
