Read this any Linux question answerers
I've noticed this start to happen - And am probably guilty of it myself
If someone asks a question - Such as 'How do I get IceWM to display desktop icons' people will answer with 'Oh I use KDE and it does it all for me'
This is probably the worst way you can answer any question and will really annoy the asker
The same goes for any 'I use RedHat and this has gone wrong...' style questions
Telling people to install Gentoo (sorry gentoo users but I see this a lot) is NOT solving their problem
Recomending things that work for you is a good but I have just read fracturedmind's "Window Managers (Linux)" thread - And nobody had suggested and 4 posts into it people had not suggested anything helpful beyond 'desktop icons are bloat - why do you need to use them'
The arrogance of that disgusts me
I don't want to scare people into not answering questions but - Think before you post something like that
