I really have to agree with Rich. I am a newbie. I have been reading the lists and watching the IRC and doing what I can to learn. The general feel that I get is a feeling of intolerance for people trying to learn and understand. Is it intentional? Do the people in the know not want anyone else to be part of a great app? Just wondering. Please try to have some consideration for everyone and follow Rich's suggestion, " If you don't like the questions, delete it and stop cluttering the list." I will continue to and use and learn because I think it is a great app. Just my observations.
