Of course, everyone is a newbie sometime. But it is a newbie's
obligation to learn and adapt to the culture. RFC 1855 goes to
the extent that it says, "read both mailing lists and newsgroups
for one to two months before you post anything." Now someone
declare that Netiquette is crap AFA posting on this list is
concerned and I'll be fine.

I totally agree with you on this point. Some netiquette has to be observed
In the recent past we have had many instances of the following.
* people sending attachments as if everyone is sitting on a broadband
1Mbps line.
* Subject titles like *help me*, I am Helpless ( OK that was made up ;) etc
* people flaming each other and not minding their temper. Result-> other
people on the mailing list get fed up with someone else's slanging
matches.
I will like to reiterate. "The people on this mailing list are Humans
and not bots". Many people on this list still use dialup lines.
