hey guys!! first of all i want to tell you all that i joined the list since August of
2000. I admit personally that i don't know much about what you are talking about guys
but the thing is you are making me learn about things. Actually, some people on my
opinion asks the same queastion even if it is answered already is because that they
are new on the list. basically if he sees that you guys are talking about things that
he doesnt know, then it is natural for that person to ask questions. Another thing is,
by posting even this non-sense questions (for you) it just simply means that they are
interested at the list. i think that there is no one dumb enough to take time to do
such things if they are not interested with that. It really hurts in my part as one of
the new guys here that you guys are talking in that manner. I just wanna tell you guys
that maybe sometimes, people do post things that maybe junk in our part but they are
really interesting for those people. And i think i!
t is not good to say that these guys should be screened or banned on the list because
they really want to learn. and we guys should not deprive them from learning. I also
think that it is a good idea for us guys to read more on the things that are posted on
the list so these problems can be solved.
