i'm not sure if and where i fit into your categories; let me put it in my
own words, ok?

i'm an old hack--"old," as in 52 years, and "hack," as in i'm hacking
around with whatever computer system i'm using. that used to be windows
mainly, until i switched to openSUSE linux about one year ago. (release
10.3--was that one year?)

Ok Linux Newbie

until one month ago my machine used to be single core athlon 1,700 with 1
GB of RAM, which i found inadequate to run KDE 4. that's why i used fluxbox
with KDE applications, which put less strain on the hardware. now i'm using
a dual core intel CPU at 2.93 MHz with 4 GB of RAM, allowing me to run KDE
4.3 full time. (the CPU would probably die of boredom if i kept to
fluxbox...)

i don't think i'm flexing any muscle; if i think that someone blasts the
wrong guy for the wrong reasons, or demands something they're not entitled
to demand, i respond in whatever tone seems appropriate at the time. i have
to admit that i do make mistakes, which i try to apologize for when i find
out.

i joined these mailing lists on 20 september, keeping very quiet in the
beginning, trying to figure out what's going on. i think i've got an idea
now and don't feel compelled to keep my opinion to myself all the time.

most here know more about openSUSE, KDE, and linux in general than i do and
i don't question or challenge that fact. if a question comes up that i
think i can help with i do so, and on questions of etiquette or behavior i
think i'm as entitled to my opinion as anybody else.

does that answer your question? if not, perhaps we should continue the
discussion via private email or the OT list.
