Bugzilla is hardly the haunt of normal users. It's a geek tool and
if you're basing the experience of the average joe on what's in it,
you're only scratching the tip of the iceberg. As for mailing lists,
"Many many" is the operative word, and spare time is a rare commodity.
Here's a quote from http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate: "Please note
that the support mailing list is very active and can send you over 100
emails per day!" Sorry. I'm just not up to wading through 100 more
emails a day.

Then what are you doing here? ;-) Have you even looked at the archive to
see wether or not it is hard or easy to get some things done.

What I do when I want to go and discuss things is I post my question and
then read the replies. I then do not care about what the other things
say.

Ivory tower? Hardly. More like a broke hitchhiker on the information
superhighway.

And what you do instead of sticking out your thumb is sit down and wait
for somebody to pick you up. Even hichhikers need to be pro-active to
get somewhere.

And again I am asking you what customer feedback have you given to
openSUSE that they have ignored? And no, telling the people here is not
giving customer feedback.

Maybe if they made it easier to give feedback more folks would. Most of
us want to use our computers, not build them.

Oh, it is not that ard to give feedback.

The former. I'm saying that they did better in the past and I don't
like what they've done lately. I stayed on 10.0 until it was out of
support because of the pain they introduced with red carpet stuff. I
know they work hard - I never said they do nothing. And I don't lie. I
may make mistakes. But that's different.

And again, if they do not know that you do not like it, they do not
know. No feedback, no changes.

My computer is just a tool. When I go out in my woodshop, I expect my
tools to perform a particular task. I don't re-engineer my tablesaw or
router, or whatever. In the past I've bought cheap tools. I don't
hesitate to say they were junk. I just replace them with better tools
the next time. I expect a certain level of quality in the software I
use. If it's not there I'll say so. But it's just software. I'm not
going to make it my life's crusade to fix it. My hats of to those that
do, but I have other interests...

Great, so move on, or give feedback to the people where it belongs.
Inmplying here that the people do not do a good job is extremely
disrespectfull of those people.
