Here's my 0.02$ worth on this.

Oh no, not the coke song!

Seriously though, I have to say that there are a number of postings to this
list that fall into the RTFM category, especially when it comes to the SSL
chicken and egg problem (please don't ask!). If I could get commission for
every message I've seen on this since I joined the list, I would have
topol's wish come true.

However, it has to be recognised that the *NIX world has more than one way
of storing documentation, unlike windoze. Because of that, some users may
genuinely have not read the manual because they couldn't find it. (For
example you can't easily get the apache-mod_ssl html documentation until you
start up apache-mod_ssl, which may be precisely the problem you have). I've
fallen into that category more than once, although I do know where to look
now.

IMHO receiving a message from someone on this list and then sending them an
abusive message "privately" is an abuse of the membership of this list. This
is because you wouldn't have had the persons email address if you weren't on
this list.

If anyone did this on any list I moderate either at home or work they'd be
taken off the list immediately. "Just as well you don't moderate this list",
I hear you say!

Most of the time you are all very patient with the questions, even those
that are "off topic". I appreciate that and I'm sure many other people do.

I would like to thank Ralf and all the other developers for the work they
do. Their understanding of programming is far better than mine, although
I've managed now to get beyond "hello world" (just). Their work on
apache-mod_ssl is even more greatly appreciated.
