And you're trying to tell me the orignal poster had an attitude?
Sorry, my intention was not to ruffle feathers. Yes, there are those that
can't read a manual or an FAQ. But it was a while after I started using
qmail that I discovered the LWQ page. I did do it all on my own, digging up
as much information as I could. I guess it's the compasionate side of me. I
know how complex it can be. When I see a question on the list that is
obviously newbie-ish, I typically send them a PRIVATE email telling them
where to find the asnwer, or I just give it to them straight out if it's
simple enough.
I just think, IMHO, that it's not for me to PUBLICLY call a moron a moron.
