At any rate, the point is that I'll bet that even you, Steve, didn't fall out of the crib knowing everything there is to know, and that at some point, you even asked questions of someone who felt the same way you do (at least at times)....but the difference was, he either answered your questions to your satisfaction, or politely directed you to where the answer could be found? I'll bet you didn't get many responses along the lines of "Jesus dude, don't you have a clue? What are you, a damn moron? Why are you bothering me with this sh*t? Go find out for yourself!!!" And if you did, I'll bet you didn't ask him again.
Problem is, when you respond like that, it reflects, unfortunately, poorly on the whole list body politic. And since I am not as world-weary as you are, I simply ask that if you cannot be polite, then don't reply to newb questions. It's really that simple.

Really, friend, does it do *that* much for your ego to step on people in public? If you can't be friendly, just ignore the damn email, no matter how many times the question has been asked.
And what benefit is it to the list for someone who isn't going to be bothered to spend 2 minutes on a path of self enlightenment? 2 minutes might even be more than necessary for one who has spent any time on that path.
The level of sophistication needed for running a asterisk box needs
someone who at least exhibits more than a second grade education. What
grade did your school actually quit spoon feeding you every fact and
start asking you to use the tools in front of you to answer questions?
