I agree with Mike. There is a fair amount of arrogance here and very
little intollerance toward "problem reports." It reminds me of the
friction between developers and testers within an organization.
With the number of novices becoming introduced to Linux, certain Linux
hardliners should practice a little patience.
The "put up or shut up" attitude is not very productive.
