<P>
On Fri, 29 Sep 2000, you wrote the following:
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; &gt; #scanimage --device epson:/dev/usbcanner0
</EM><BR>
<P><EM>&gt; When the invalid argument case occurs we should special case string[0]=='/'
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and print an error message which asks the user to please READ THE
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; FUCKING MANUAL. Or better still, since today's users have been brought
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; up to expect hand holding at every turn, just print out five or six lines
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; explaining in detail what they did wrong.
</EM><BR>
<P>I joined this this because I use sane with a Fujitsu C600 and learned that I
<BR>
*liked* the product. I am by no means an &quot;expert&quot; with regards to SANE...
<BR>
I use this to list provide me with information... Plus I am currently writing a
<BR>
back-end for the Fujitsu ScanPartner10 and ScanPartner10C (I might add it's
<BR>
going pretty good too. I am about 1/2 way there...). Usually, I just sit
<BR>
back and read the posts on this list... Gleaning info that useful and etc...
<BR>
However, I have a question: Is it normal policy on this list to curse users
<BR>
who want to use SANE and attempt to embarrass them? I believe this hurts the
<BR>
product and the reputation of those who work on it. Could someone in authority
<BR>
on this list please clarify this issue.
<BR>
<P><P>Best
<BR>
<P>M. Peck Dickens
