Huh? I've been lurking and occasionally posting here for heaven knows
how long, and while trolls aren't tolerated, I don't think I've _ever_
seen anyone with a "How do I ..." question flamed.
(Excepting the long and perhaps honourable history of folks wanting to
have a different From header. But that's actually a nice tendancy to
want to uphold RFC standards.)
I can't count the number of times I've seen Kai walk someone through
something in Gnus. I actually ran into him at a conference this past
summer, and he was kind enough to answer a Gnus question there, too.
Now, there's a fair comment that many of these questions perhaps
shouldn't _have_ to be asked, they should already be set up for you.
So write your how-to or newbie FAQ or whatever and put it on the web.
That's what the web's for. But for petes sake, spend your time there
rather than flaming folks here.
