If so, from my point of view, you will make it much harder for folks like myself to decide whether a problem is configuration based or a hardware problem. If I know that others have had success with a problem, then I can assume I am doing something wrong, rather than having purchased something incompatible. Given the educational intent of RasPi, that seems necessary (to me). | |

That anyone is given an opportunity to edit posts makes your concern go away. And also, I disagree with forcing such questions into community wikis. | |
