PCMech Forums - View Single Post - why do people post just for the heck of it

the reason i started this thread is not to nit pick at someone specific, but over some time, the thread has seen more and more mis leading postings from people who have no grasp of realities.

That certainly is not helping the community or otherwise. There are a whoe lot of stuff that i dont know about and i dont end up posting about it based on my assumptions.

People forget that when replying, they are not expressing their opinions (assumpitons etc) but ALSO implying a solution (though exceptions are there). My point been a NO answer is better then wrong / misleading answer.

Case in hand:
a) Downloaded distro not having GUI installation
b) Downloaded distro dont have partitioning utils
c) Kernel upgrade is to make it user friendly, shows the absolute lack of reality.

I guess ppl b*tch about linux for lack of resources like M$ Technet which goes something like this
http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q157/6/68.asp

i rest my case

Its a honest suggestion that you do not believe in the hearsay of some conny sales man and then start spreading false news.

XAYD, and everyone, people please think and verify your information, not once but twice.

This thread is/was not for flames, but will be nice if this thread can finally culminate into some kind off code of conduct for this board.
