stop lying, karl.  seriously, just stop it.  your original post did
not just "see if anyone felt the same as me".  and i quote from
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-December/msg00927.html:

"Why does it arrive on a new load with all those things checked?
Where is help on F8? I think it is a bug."

you did *not* just ask other peoples' opinion, you explicitly ventured
the opinion that the behaviour you were seeing was a "bug," which is
*exactly* the behaviour of yours i was condemning in my earlier post,
and it's why your posts are so aggravating.

normal people might see something curious in fedora, and ask about it.
*you*, on the other hand, see something curious and immediately
conclude that it's broken.  you then post a message to that effect,
after which other mailing list members patiently have to correct you.

do you see the difference, karl?  *other* posters learn stuff by
asking questions, and getting responses.  *you* learn stuff by posting
bogus accusations about fedora and being constantly corrected.  and
that act is starting to wear really, really thin.
