Newbies need not have a thick skin, but they should feel that this list is a grandpa, to whom they can approach easily and get their queries clarified. I have consistently seen that a selected few do not have the naiveness while posting which is taken as being disrespectful. The problem *is* with the former; for they being in the list for a long time should not take the liberty in 'owning' this group; and should rather help in 'promoting' -- do understand that being curt in replies is dangerous thing - and is often understood as being disrespectful. Btw, i see the same behavior by those *few* across mailing lists too; so i have kind of lived that. Been in this group since 2004-05, i have posted very less and i am always flabbergasted with the noise-to-signal ratio(!!). Code of Conduct should be 'freindly' - like a marketing campaign, and not a checklist. -V _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
