I never bought myself a book on C, and I learned exactly the way many people here did. You got some code and you started to learn. You also asked questions, because not everything is obvious.
If he wants to learn to code, and wants to ask the list a basic question about mud code, let him. (As long as it's not answered in the FAQ) I think as a mailing list we need to work harder on not flaming everyone who posts something we think is inferior to our own person.
