OK. |

I think you need to step back a little and apply the above to this |
| 27 |
situation. By that I mean how you are interacting with others, not the |
| 28 |
various questions about systemd, how many NICs a board has in general |
| 29 |
and so on. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The results you are getting are far from optimum - you may eventually |
| 32 |
get an answer that satisfies you but in general it is involving long |
| 33 |
winding threads that frustrate others. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
So I suggest you apply reason and investigation to determine why that |
| 36 |
might be so. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
One highly workable method is when you find yourself taking a contrary |
| 39 |
position and about to explain why you think what you think, then reverse |
| 40 |
it. Instead, state that you disagree, that you think something else and |
| 41 |
invite the other to explain why they are saying what they are saying. |
| 42 |
This method has high success in revealing to you what it is you have to |
| 43 |
realise first, as you mention above) |

No, it's about people and how people communicate concepts and ideas. |
| 68 |
It's about how Dale is a long term contributor and people generally |
| 69 |
think well of him and how statistically he is right more often than he |
| 70 |
is wrong. He's worth paying attention to. |
