""giving feedback"". "social interaction".

You didn't even bother to try my solution. Maybe because it wasn't your 
problem? How's that interaction, let alone social? [0]

Nobody cares to check their newly-running linux for all supposedly 
related mailinglists and send out appraisal. Your implication works as
