John Tate, Consider living a life of service, instead of complaining that the list has not helped you enough, try to figure out what you can do to better serve the list. So, work more before hitting the list, don't panic, give it a day or two. Read the archives and relevant man pages always, then if necessary make your question to the list as concise and accurate as possible, for people who might have the same problem in the future.
