[clamav-users] ClamAV(R) blog: ClamAV 0.99.4 has been released!

[Tilman Schmidt]

What definitely isn't fine is this endless griping about how people
should phrase their questions differently, know more than they do, have
read this and that (blindly assuming that they hadn't) and so on which
contributes exactly nothing to a solution.

What isn't fine either is rude language.

Joel's reaction was the appropriate one: neither jumping to conclusions
nor berating the person seeking help, but cleary and politely asking for
the missing information.

Sorry for contributing to the flamewar but I have observed this long
enough now to run out of patience.
