Maybe one of the free web-based forum packages will eventually offer an "elitist" or "impatient" mode. Before you can post, you do the required reading and pass online exams. The idea is to weed out people who think README is just another geek buzzword. You have to know what a FAQ is and you have to know what RTFM means.And if nobody's going to educate the newbies, then how will they ever learn?
Do you believe in letting your children do whatever they want, too? There
are 'defacto' rules for any system. No, I don't have my shiny ListCop<tm>
There is a difference when you are that childs father or mother but you are neither?
Do you stop people in the street when you see them doing things wrong and try and tell them "you shouldn't be doing it like that", "this is how you should do it". I hope not :) Essentially this list is the same.
There are lots of very helpful people, keen to provide help and
enthusiasm to new asterisk people, then there are those who seem to
have so much time on there hands they have to reply to every newbies
question telling them to "go and look
at google before asking that here!"
Most of those people who tend to scold every newbie are probably "elitist pretenders". If they were truly elite, they would be too busy to read and reply to such posts. Of course some of us are just impatient, regardless of our skill level.
