The problem, imo, is that people are acting disrespectful of others and
that threads like it bring the signal to noise ratio to virtually zero.
I've been battling with DNS for a week and (no offense to Dan Lund, his help
is VERY VERY appreciated) i am lost because I have no idea what is going on
and neither does Dan. Threads like 'we are screwed' while 'interesting'
detract from the point of the mailing list: to discuss GNU/Linux and F/OSS.
