It is not about what your browser decides. Like I explained it is the bad designed interface of the forum what forces you and me. Now new small devices will force Unix users to change good habits of decades! Another example of I what said to varishankar. Besides, I recieve by email linuxquestions updates that I read using Mutt. They are unreadable for me but I will not accuse you to forcing me. By the way, is this a linux forum? |

explained above (in case you know what a regex is). It is not the user who must change its text editor habits to workaround a bad web site design. I will not use top posting or soft wrapping just because most users out there uses Windows Messenger (or windows like interfaces running on linux like KDE) and, what is more important, because it is an idiot practice. Sorry. And again, while square minded people could think that this is off topic I insist that this is the real cause behind issues like systemd. In the FreeBSD forum happened to me the same, I was forced to use a soft wrapped text edition. This should not happen in a FreeBSD forum or in "the more Unix like linux distro" forum. I would ask what some guys here thinks KISS means but I already wasted a lot of time explaining myself, giving examples of real life, for nothing. This is another symptom of what I said in my second post of this thread. And to close my whole idea of all my posts in this forum this is the point I don't agree with Stallman: the taste of the masses is the real dictator. Like I said, "the unbeatable enemy". From now I will use mailing lists exclusively. I leave this forum permanently. If the moderators here think that my "distorted" english don't feet the level of this forum, that I am a troll, a drugs addict, that I use a "cryptic" language, I lack of courtesy, between other qualifications people here gave me in change feel free of removing all of my comments.

@eloi: I don't care if you use Pendactyl, Benzedrine, Florida Snow or California Cornflakes but you do not keep dragging a thread OT after moderators warned 3 times. |

interface bad code. Please, yesterday I've unchecked in my user preferences the option to receive your messages in my email, but I've received them anyway, could you please fix that bug too? What you've said about pentadactyl is insulting and ignorant is somebody here to moderate you? |

I don't have a thing for green apples. But I do have a thing for habaneros, seranos and red bell peppers that weren't a product of highly engineered pesticides and fertilizers.
And yes, I have noticed that supply and demand have made it impossible to obtain the wholesome variety without paying obscene prices for them. So I grow my own. Of the people in my social sphere, that I see on a regular basis, I'm probably the only one that is dinking around in the dirt on any given day, to prepare for my next planting. If given the opportunity, one of them would be happy to tell me about how much time I'm wasting, and how I'm against progress. I think I understand perfectly, why someone would build and maintain Slackware. I also understand perfectly why people, maybe not "everyone", but plenty enough, would seek it out, and use it. d |

In the mean time, would please be so kind as respect the conventions of the forum as they stand today, whether you like them or not. As you can clearly see, the rest of us are not hard wrapping our lines. Since you are in a minority of one, it is up to you to adjust, not us. It is called being polite. The problems of hard wrapping on this forum have already been explained to you and until such a time (if ever) that LQ supports your requested automatic conversion, it is up to you to do it before submitting your post.

We really need a subforum called "The SoapBox" where anything goes and can be kept away from the normal chatter. users can only post, no editing or deleting. Once you've said you're peace, that's it.

Dear @dfwrider
Yes, you got me just in part. I am happy (sincerely) that you found a place where to do your planting. But did you see what happened here? Honestly it hurt me and depress me at the same time. The desktop computers like you know will disappear (or will be too expensive). More or late Linux will stop supporting them in favor of tablets. Everybody is using now the stupid Apple tablets and movil phones (or its imitation that run Android). This guys complaining to me here use them because is what "everybody does". If you explain them that (following the KISS principle) it would be better to use the phone to make calls (do one thing and do it right) and to sit in front of a desktop machine with the appropriate screen and a real keyboard at time to read and post in a forum they will not hear your reasons. Even after see that doing so my hard wrapped text is "by far" more readable than the rest in a normal screen. You can lose hours giving them one hundred of worthy of consideration reasons, explaining them why it is better doing this instead of that. They don't know about reasons, they don't have a criterion, they don't have a philosophy, at time to choose they just do what "everybody does". They could be going in the opposite direction to what they proclaim to defend but, doing it all together, they are right :-). Some of them can say you, "See I am a rebel, I don't use Windows, I use Slackware", just a black sheep. Even if you, good intentioned, politely explain them that in that direction they will be shorn, they will still reproach you "meeeee meeeee, why aren't you doing the same of all of us?, meeee meeeee". And, believe me, they will not forgive you to do something different, they assume that is your duty do the same. Are they all smoking?, why aren't you smoking? You are not normal! If they are crying out "Viva Perón" or "Heil Hittler" or "Hail Hail Rock and Roll" and see you silent they will meeeee meeeee forcing you to do the same. At some point when two or three are "meeeing" the shepherd appear. The shepherd has no interest in your reasons neither, his business are the sheep. His job is to maintain the sheep calm and doing all the same and going in the same direction. Two thousand years fable; they are experts in managing the sheep. He doesn't care if Pentadactil or Orange Juice, if what you do or say is against the forum popularity you are OT. The sheep that assume you will be afraid like them of the shepherd start to "meeee" more loudly reproaching you "What do you think you are?" Look, I see you are a bit more optimistic (or less pessimistic) than me. Enjoy the last years of the real Unix experience. One day, you will not have space for your orchard. All will be covered by cement. -- Dear @hitest Thanks for your advice. But, see, I really don't care about doing a smart move. I am unable to do business with shepherds or sheep. It's against my nature. |
