At least here you dont get the insane amount of spam like on debian 
boards and people here want to help even if in a rude tone. And most 
dont get offended here easily if someone miss speaks or does not fully 
grasp the English language. Debian boards are the reason I switched to 
Arch and while yes it a whole new world and way of thinking some just 
are slower to adopt that most of the issues can be solved on the wiki.  
Tiresome or not its the way of life on boards there is always good and 
bad. Though I still dont grasp if reading a message gets you so pissy 
you have to resort to high school antics you probably should  not be 
responding to that message. If its a repeated question why not either no 
one respond which would force the person to research on their own or 
just send one message to check the wiki and or other pertinent place 
where the info has been said numerous times. I am on gumstix board as 
well and thats how they roll, stupid question or one thats commonly 
asked and answered tons of times just get ignored or someone takes 2 
seconds to say hey read the wiki or search the archives of this board 
question has been answered.

Just my .02 from a recent Arch convert.
