well, i have to say i was in your camp. i am also on the qmail list and that list is brutal on the newbies. they are big on rtfm over there and based on what i see here, i am begining to agree with them although i think they could be a little more friendly about it. basically, it boils down to the biblical principal of giving someone a fish or teach them to fish for themselves. perhaps we should be telling these people how to find solutions to their problems instead of spoon feeding them the answer every time. for example, if they were to search the archives for this topic, they would find your numerous responses to the posts and hopefully not add one more post to the archives. just a thought. :-) - -- Peter Abplanalp Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: pgp.mit.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9b5YKggA8sH0iRXQRAkddAKCLfz/auJiEgIzFTbuDCmjAloPRXQCeOyFD ri5yag8ziFrdfyiq3D8T/MI= =MFQA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
