Hello,
Here are a few suggestions that will hopefully help members of this list enjoy their stay here and avoid the flame wars that keep flaring up and take up precious bandwidth.
I'd like to add two more points as well -
1. Please let's not discourage a newbie asking 'silly' questions. The best approach would be to show him the right direction politely. I'm guilty of doing this in the past on other lists.
2. Let's also not discriminate posters by their language. I've noticed this many times - If a poster is not proficient in English, he is flamed. Not all of us come from an English-medium school and IMHO, one does not need to be gramatically correct to be an effective sysadmin/coder. Using SMS-style lingo is a different matter though.
Regards, NMK.
