<div>Hello Gromacs users, <br></div><div><br></div><div>This is constructive criticism to some people on the list...</div><div><br></div><div>Tabulated potentials are an advanced feature of Gromacs and the people who is looking for help on the mailing list (certainly not experienced) deserve a little respect, simply because they eventually will contribute to the human knowledge, like probably every single person that search answers on the list.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm saying this because of the dramatic answers that can be readed here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2010-April/050256.html">http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2010-April/050256.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Gromacs manual requieres: knowledge about molecular modeling in general and patience. More than a guide the manual is a challenge and specially the tabulated potentials stuff. People often doesn't have time to learn a new programming languaje to see inside the code to understand how the machine works (this is the reason for a manual!). Because I usually work with high MW polymers, I know the feeling of discouragement when you're trying to use Gromacs for this kind of systems. But If I had received such an hysterical answer like </div>

<div><br></div><div>Mark.Abraham: take an anxiolytic pill if you continue suffering this mood disorder when you receive an e-mail with a simple consultation.</div><div><br></div><div>Gareth Tribello: your guide doesn't tell anything that complements the manual, why you have written it? (go to the talk shows if you want to start to be famous) I had to eat my pasta cold because of this gossips!</div>
