With Papa's computer getting half-infected by SirCam (McAfee nicked it in

yes, it's white for sure. My eyes just can't distinguish and I think
they're still black. ;>

I should. Studies say that reduces the risk of heart attack significantly.

BUT WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE???
Oops.
Maybe I just hate it when we have nice footers eating up bandwidth that
don't get read by people who join the list, send their question like their
asking a Yaya to clean up their mess, and expect people who've answered
the question again and again to answer yet again.
Isn't lurking for awhile uso anymore? I remember lurking for awhile to get
a feel of PLUG before asking. Or at least I _think_ I lurked for awhile.
You were around. Did I ask right away? (oops, hahaha)
I wonder what we can do as far as the subscription phase is concerned to
pre-educate would-be members of the list. Stuff like:
o Don't use HTML-ized e-mail.
o Search the archives before asking
o Do not ask "which distribution is the best". You will regret it.
o Do not reply to an existing e-mail if your message has nothing to do
with it as this wrecks threading of MTAs.
o READ THE DOCUMENTATION FIRST! <list some great sources>
o If you're a newbie, PLUG ain't for you. Go to the PH Linux Newbie forum
<link here>
o A virtual who is who.
Notice a number of these I got hint from the linux-kernel mailing list
FAQ. :)
> Remember, once upon a time, you too were a newbie.
True, true. I hope I wasn't as ... f*cking ignorant, though. (My my, it
_is_ a bad no-hair day).

I'm not eating them. I'm spewing them out.

that PLUG is not the
