My fellow netfilter users.

Please don't misunderstand this posting, but the amount of simple end-user
questions sent to the coreteam@netfilter.org address is increasing all the
time.

The coreteam has _NOT_ the time to respond to easy configuration or usage
questions from the end user.

Please remember, we're doing our work on netfilter for free in our spare
time.=20

As soon as you start sending simple questions to the core developers of any
free software project, the developers will spend more time in answering=20
questions - and thus less time in developing the software further.

Please,

- read the faq
- ask your questions on netfilter@lists.samba.org
- if you think it is a bug or a development related question, use
  netfilter-devel@lists.samba.org
- if it is a bug of something in patch-o-matic, contact the author of the
  patch.

Thanks for your attention.

p.s.: I don't want to start an off-topic thread now. Plese respond
privately.

--=20
Live long and prosper
