While I technically agree she should probably hire someone in-house or at
least contract someone to manage the linux system (that's assuming she's in
charge of it currently and wasn't just assigned one issue to fix, which is
entirely possible)--I don't think it was particularly good form to forward
it back to the list the way you did, Jay.

If I were her, I'd be pretty miffed at you, honestly.  That was pretty
brutal.  I mean, you could have just told her the same thing privately and
referred her back to the list--not shoved her back forceably in relative
public embarrassment.  We're both known for being more than blunt, but that
crosses the line on my definition of treating someone civilly.  I may have
an odd definition of doing so at times, but -if- I were going to make a
public comment like that, their comment would have had to have been public
first.  That display wasn't even good ettiquette, man.

I'll chalk it up to it being a bad Monday and just move along now.
