Well, perhaps I should not contribute to the prolongation of this thread 
by posting to it, but hey.

I don't think that the original answering post was rude.  I thought it 
was helpful, if a bit terse.  I'm usually one to call people on being 
rude to newbies on mailing lists, but it never occured to me that the 
reply was rude.  The information as to what list is appropriate for end 
user questions will no doubt be helpful to a newcomer to Fedora, and the 
inclusion of that infomation enhanced the value of the post.

I don't think that silence would have been an appropriate response.

Add to that the fact that this is a developers' list (Note to self:  
Then why am I posting to this OT thread?), and the fact that it is very 
clearly labelled as such and I really do not see the problem here.

Now on fedora-list, I do believe that it is desirable to go out of one's 
way to be extra polite.  On the fedora-list, we are Fedora's ambassadors 
to the rest of the world.
