Interesting topic, What about the person who WAS once a devoted person....but due to the responses he was getting....left....and after trying a slew of other distros...couldn't find anything that compared to this one?..so he came back, a bit subdued, and hoping his return goes un-noticed.....what category would he fall into?....lurker?....core user?...casual user?...(and I MAY be opening myself up to "attack" from certain people here....but guess I'll just take my lumps and bear it!

Try not to take it personally. Most of "The Internet", at least the parts I follow have taken a nasty tone over the last several years.
Here, for example, there are a lot of very knowledgeable people. They really know what they are talking about.
But, at times, being Geeks, they take a simple omelet and turn it into a 7 course dinner. :-)
Sounds advice indeed! I guess I've grown my "skin" to be resistant enough against the treatment I used to receive....as I get older....I get wiser!

Big smiles(s) go here.
Seriously? IMHO. Some times the ego(s) of the responder(s) gets in the way of the simple needs of the OP.
As a n example? "My car won't start" and then turn that into a complete conversation of how to disassemble this car, reassemble it, with several 'what the heck is that stuff items added' and when that does not/might not work it then becomes a "try this' or 'try that' situation. I really dislike 'try this - in *might* work' suggestions.
Long distance help and 'I can't touch your machine' help can be hard. What bothers me is the geeks fighing amonst them selves.
And that simple statement will probably start the next $hit$storm for me. :-)
You have a good day. And from me at least, welcome back to Fedora.
