Matt,
I dig. You folks who have done a lot of hard work and are knowledgable
should not have to do the work for newbies who can't be bothered. But the
easiest way to avoid exerting any effort on their behalf seems to me to be
to ignore them. This Robin person just seems to need to take out his/her
dissatisfaction with life on newbies on this list, some of whom seem to have
made efforts to solve problems themselves.
I must say that my personal experience with this list has always been
extremely helpful and I can't say enough how much I value those of you who
have helped me. I certainly do my best to read the docs and solve problems
myself before posting, so maybe that's all it is. I just think it's crappy
to have to read full-on verbal abuse, personal attacks, and sweeping
name-calling. This Robin person has NO IDEA who he/she is really talking to,
only that they don't know as much about qmail. This is no reason to call
someone "too fscking stupid". I wish people would simply choose not to reply
to questions they consider a waste of their time.
Gregg
