No, it's not normally like this -- at least for the three months I've been
here. This newbie has never been flamed (though he's been teased when his
answers to questions weren't quite right :-)
I think that the name calling and OT arguments about what is and isn't a
portal have gone past the point of reason, but good things look like they
will come out of this.
As a newbie, I'm /really/ looking forward to an updated FAQ, and I would
like to see pointers to primers and articles as Mattieu suggested.
So far, I've found this list helpful and informative. With a good mail
filter, I'm sure it still is. :-)

be amusing. I apologize if I offend anyone. Please insert your favorite
anti-flame statement here.

: Seriously, in the
