Just ignore the troll. There are a few people on this list who seem to
take offense at the fact that people ask questions about Arch Linux...on
a list for asking questions about Arch Linux. It's one thing if you had
made no effort to find an answer on your own, which is admittedly
irritating, but that doesn't seem to be the case for you. So just don't
pay him any mind.
