He could indeed hardly have provided *less*.
on his problem but what kind of reply is that?
Ahem, let me think. "The friendly version of what you get when you post crap requests for help." That kind of requests is unhelpful, a waste of time, and could have gotten him flamed to cinders on other mailinglists - IMO he got off easy.
I think that one of the ideas behind the mailing list must of been to help whoever as issues with the distribution!Sadly this is not the first time a situation like this happens.
Having problems, or even being a newbie is no excuse for posting stupid requests for help that nobody, no matter how benevolent, could possibly act on, unless they are into divination. Hopefully Hitoshi doesn't get too intimidated, and returns some other day with a more well thought out post, but I think most people agree that we can do without posts of the type "My computer no workie, help!!" EOD, ok? //treach
