I must be very thick-skinned because I don't believe I have ever
received a flame although you can be sure I have asked some dumb,
simple questions; we all have.
And I think actually telling someone to read a book or ... do
something constructive is GOOD. I never mind someone taking the time
to tell me I have made a mistake.
I find this list to be one of the most easy-going. You should see
the perl usenet groups (a lot of it is just funny).
But there should be a FAQ for this group and it should be posted in
every email. Otherwise I do not think you could ever flame the
asking of a FAQ.
