this has probably been posted here before, but based on the recent threads, it surely bears repeating:
How to Ask Smart Questions: http://tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html quoting: "...hackers have a reputation for meeting simple questions with what looks like hostility or arrogance. It sometimes looks like we're reflexively rude to newbies and the ignorant. But this isn't really true. What we are, unapologetically, is hostile to people who seem to be unwilling to think or do their own homework before asking questions. People like that are time sinks -- they take without giving back, they waste time we could have spent on another question more interesting and another person more worthy of an answer." -- mulix http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/ http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
