Sorry, am I doing something to invoke hostility?

I don't think I'm "refusing" to do things in some kind of childish 
reactive manner.

I'm trying to balance out putting effort into getting things done so 
that I can enjoy my computer for the things I bought it for - web 
design, web surfing, multimedia, etc..., but at the same time putting 
limits on my efforts simply to prevent myself from spending *all* my 
time configuring and building and learning Linux.

It's not an easy balance, but I know for a fact that I could lose an 
essentially never ending amount of time of productivity in the things 
that contribute to my lifetime goals if I allow myself to become too 
obsessed with tweaking my computer. Been there, done that.

I get the impression from this and a few other posts you've made that 
you don't respect this approach as a balance, and instead see me being 
demanding results without having to work for it.

That's not at all the case, and in fact I thought I was building things 
and trying to work through problems as best as I could without losing 
myself in it. I certainly don't think I'm arbitrarily refusing anything.

I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't throw in my face an 
accusation like the above simply because I am not the same kind of Linux 
user that you are.

Is there not room on this list and in this world for many kinds of 
people with different goals in using Linux?
