Mike, I believe the foundation of PLUG is the notion that members of the Plug community give freely to each other as they can. For example, a member who has many years of experience as a Linux sysadmin making 6 figures does not ask a poster to donate $5 to them for solid advice on how to fix the poster's problem. They give back to the community because they know someday they will be the poster in need of assistance one day. Or, they give out of the need to support this community out of the goodness of their heart. With that said, I find your proposed post to be offensive and not at all in the spirit of this community. I also agree with Mike Bydalek that your proposed post is not even close to the stated purpose of this forum - We talk about the state of GNU/Linux, what we've recently done with GNU/Linux, share problems and create solutions. ( http://plug.phoenix.az.us/aboutplug.html) My 2 cents. Mark On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 5:00 PM, Mike Bydalek wrote: > Honestly, I don't think this is the proper forum for this.
