No it wasn't. Your question was, and I quote "can sombody give me the
correct syntax to rpm to uninstall a package". If you were having any
further problems beyond that with sendmail then it would take
clairvoyance as the *only* thing you demonstrated in your message was
that you were invoking rpm incorrectly.

Wrong again, he actually answered your question as well, did you even
read the full text of the mail? I would find someone who's just had his
immediate problem solved *and* given advice on how to solve future
problems to be more than just 'a little insulting'.

Personally I do that and usually ignore people like you. If everyone
did that, however, all new users would be met with a wall of silence and
never be motivated to learn enough to help themselves, or to persevere
with linux.

And we're not all psychic. But here's a prediction, if you keep that
attitude you'll be solving your next problem on your own as well.
