[RANT] Please don't send simple usage questions to the core team!
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.

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
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.
