[ale] Newbee needing help #6

[Dan Lambert]

Well, EXCUSE ME! JAMES.

If you can endure twenty or so postings about voting, you can damned
sure endure six from a new guy that needs help!

If you don't want all the posts, get the list in digest form.

If we, as enthusiasts, can't help a new guy, and cut him some slack for
posting questions in WHATEVER FASHION HE CHOOSES, we need to reevaluate
our priorities as a group. That's the kind of attitude I expect from a
Microsoft techie, not a Linux enthusiast.

This whole OS, and all of the affiliated groups, are about COMMUNITY. We
all help one another to learn and progress. 

Of course, I might have made a mistake and accidentally posted this to
the MicroStinks Tech Support forum.
