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. ian
