[Discuss] excuse me?

Ummm... David, I'm looking for a polite way of telling you you're being
an asshole.  Alan's question is totally valid, seeing as nvu (open
source) is the answer he was looking for.  Even if someone asks an
off-topic question, be helpful, not a jerk.  Your attitude give Linux
nerds a bad name.

Alan, let me apologize for David's rude reply.  I personally welcome
your questions.  Hopefully the trolls will keep their grumbling to
themselves.  I usually ignore them, but I thought you should know we're
not all jerks.

~Noel
