In fact, this is a good place to mention something I
have noticed for a
long time on these lists:
There seems to be an attitude prevalent among some of the long-time members
here of - shall we say - 'impatience' with newcomers - especially those who
are not of the programmer variety.
I have seen newcomers post on these lists (I mean here all 4 of them), with
great enthusiasm and excitement - happy to have discovered Linux Audio or
Ardour, full of eager, albeit 'newbie', questions or problems, and have
seen a number of them treated with irritation, sometimes bordering on open
contempt and disdain.
I honestly don't think you realize how you often sound to others - and
since I am already in disfavor, I have nothing to lose by bringing it up
now.
I haven't seen this at all on this list. I think it's one of the most
helpful and tolerant lists out there. But that's just my *perception*
of it...
