You did post to the list, didn't you? You're asking us for help with our repos. The repos we provide for free. The repos you use to get paid by your customers.

Again, I point to the very simple question that could have/should have required a very simple answer of: No, sorry, never seen the issue (or not respond at all)/Yes, here is how I resolved it.

...

Then ask RedHat how "yum" works.

And I thanked you for that response. It was not a sarcastic "Thank you" it was a genuine thank you.

...

Then you misunderstood my point. My point was that it was an option for you. Which should have been pretty clear.

No. I understood that is what you were stating, hence, again, my thanks. It is just a process I would like to try and avoid. But I understand there are plenty of documents out there to help with this if I choose to go that way.

...

Yeah, that's the typical "I'm insulted" response. You know what the list is about. Asking leading questions means you're not solving technical problems (which IS what the list is about), but you're looking for reasons to be offended.

Do you not see the irony in your response? I am never insulted by anyone. Offence/Insult - A discussion for a different group perhaps.

...

Nonsense. Saying that means you either haven't read many of the messages here, or you haven't understood them.

How is it nonsense? The group is available to either ask a question or it is not. Do you say to any of your students "No question is too stupid"?

...

Would you be insulted if someone told you "I'm sure that any meaningless IT work you do could be done by some low-level monkey with some googling and research."

As I mentioned above, I thank you for yours and Matthews response. Very much appreciated. No, I would not get insulted. Would not bother me, people can think whatever they want.

...

Yes? Then don't say the same thing here.

See my answer above. Let's leave it at that. I thank yourself and Matthew for your responses. As I said, it is appreciated and ways to look to move forward (Which I was hoping to avoid hence my question in the first place).
