I'm really in two minds about posting this, because the above is so |
| 13 |
aggravating and whiny. Getting on a soap-box and complaining about the |
| 14 |
other list users (i.e. me and us) seems to imply that it's somehow |
| 15 |
everyone else's responsibility to fix your problem for you. |

However, I'm wondering if the original suggestion to search the find |
| 18 |
archives might have antagonised you less if it had been phrased |
| 19 |
differently. Mention of "the KDE upgrade before that, and the libxcb |
| 20 |
thing, xorg-1.6, and dbus/hal" only seem to have confused matters; |
| 21 |
"hashed to death" may be an exaggeration, as I can only (immediately) |
| 22 |
find the one thread. |

Perhaps if Alan had asked "did you read last week's thread on this |
| 25 |
subject?" you might have gone and found: |
