Yes it is arrogant. I will not point people away from Gentoo, and I |
| 13 |
will certainly not discourage questions, even if it's the millionth |
| 14 |
identical of the day. I'm confident that none of the Gentoo developers |
| 15 |
feel as you do, because if our own developers start turning users away, |
| 16 |
things will be going downhill. Don't forget that the "knowledge of |
| 17 |
unix" wasn't encoded in your DNA. |

Anyway, just wanted to cut the high horses before they start stampeding. |
