Agreed. I'm not saying don't post problems or issues.
I'm on the list for help myself. I just don't want
blanket complaints or personal attacks to drive off
the smart people on the list. Idiots like me need

Post issues; get answers or at least, hopefully,
influence some improvements in Fedora.

..like I said though; noone should listen to me
anyway.
