Description Ciaran McCreesh 2004-05-02 04:11:01 UTC
hb-install-system.xml contains a lame attempt at humour which leads to countless hours of asshattery and wasted time on #gentoo. Those of us providing user support have better things to do than answer repeated "are there any developers around?" questions only to find out that the user is just going to say "the handbook told me to harass you". If this continues it is likely that many developers will simply cease answering any user questions at all.

Well.. gentoo-doc is usually quiet and peace until swift arrives.:p
Maybe we should just change it by
"Ask around in #gentoo, there are many experienced  advance users who can help solving your problem."
If it is just an simple issue, we should let the community help the community, devs have others to work on.

Take a deep breath, think about joga (or jogi depending on your age) and watch me fix it :p
