[net.general] new users

	Ok, I'll try to make myself clearer.  I responded to an
	'article' that was flaming a request for the meaning
	of 'rc'.  Well first of all, I did not send the article,
	and what I did say was this :

	New users are *NOT* getting information regarding these
	commonly asked questions.  Yes, *I KNOW* that the
	answers are posted regularly on net.announce.whatever...
	but you *CANNOT* expect a new user to know this. 

	Therefore : Some method of destributing this information
	to a new user needs to be developed.
	
	Granted, it may already exist somewhere, but not here.
	And again I say I am not a new user, but new enough to
	know I did not get it when I started.  Now, if it is 
	not being distributed to new users here, then I'm sure
	that the exists some other site where new users are
	not getting this info.  So *PLEASE* stop flaming everybody
	who asks a 'stupid' question.  If anything, yell at the
	people in charge of making sure new users get this info.

	And finally, please remember that I am trying to defend
	some of the other people that are now in positions most
	of us where in some umpteen years ago.  I have to admit
	that tact is usually exhibited, but sometimes....  Well
	anyway, I've said enough.

		Thanx,
