The problem is that then the same people then start complaining
about my "oversimplification."  In fact, that's part of the
problem here.

I really _tried_ to make a recommendation without breaking down into
the engineering non-sense.  I really don't see how much "wit" I
could
do to satisify some people on that thread.

Dude, at this point, I'm tired of having my experience cut, sliced and
diced by people who are like, "WTF does he think he is?"  So
you're
right, I'm going to just state something _once_ and if people don't
want to believe it, I'm just going to leave it.

I tried several times in that thread, but yes, you are correct, I didn't
stop, and I kept posting too.  My apologies.

I don't have a problem with being called a "tangential blabber."
What *I* have a problem is being singled out.  Dude, re-read back
in that last thread.  Although I didn't stop posting, at some point,
I realized it was going to have to go _deep_ before it would end.

Now I've said my peace for the last time.  I promise I will not
repeat something more than once -- at the most, making only a
2nd post to "clarify" and if I didn't do a "good enough
job" by then,
I'll leave it be _regardless_.

Your opinion is noted.  But also note that someone else insinuated
there was only *1* troll.  I like holding everyone to the same standard.

Too bad to see a guy like Bryan being accused of trolling......

many of his inputs are too valuable and insightful :)

A mailing list like centos-offtopic will surely be very useful.
questions like "which server is best with centos" etc etc can be asked
and replied in detail here.
