I may not ask the paid staff, but I might ask some of the customers. This
support on this list is provided by customers, not paid staff. The paid
staff does frequent the list, but it's not their job. This situation is
understood by most of the active members of the list, including the
original poster. That message was effectively sent to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. There is a difference.

I disagree. The question was from one Red Hat user who was considering
switching distros, to other Red Hat users, requesting advice from any who
may have used other distros. It makes perfectly good sense to ask such a
question in a customer supported forum like this.

If this list were a dedicated vendor support forum, staffed by paid
employees, then I would agree with you. But that's not what this is, so
the boundaries are a little different. That might sometimes bother good
people like trond, but this list is a net gain for Red Hat, even if not
everything posted here is flattering to the company.
