It seems to me, that telling someone that they don't have a clue, implies
that you are not new to linux. When I pass out incorrect info, I would lke
to know what is incorrect, so I can stop passing it along. Just telling me,
that it doesn't work and can even be dangerous, would have alerted me to not
pass on bad advice. Nothing else was necessary. As it is, I still don't know
what is wrong, all I can guess is it just plain don't work. How different
from the Ubuntu forum, where someone would say, it don't work, trust us, it
just messes things up, and leave it at that. Sorry.
