Bad newbie!
1) You just asked the *SAME* question (or at least the same subject)
30 minutes ago. Do you honestly expect an answer at 4AM on a
weeknight?
2) Read some documentation occasionally! Everything I've seen you ask
could have been answered had you tried reading for understanding
instead of just skimming it when things look hard.
3) Stop posting everything you send with "Newbie." This DOES NOT win
you sympathy points of any kind; many people actually have procmail
filter all subjects containing whiny subjects like "please help!"
and "newbie" to /dev/null. We don't care if you're a newbie or a
net.ghod with 30 years Unix experiance; if you act like a retard,
we'll treat you like one. Likewise, if you post in an intellegent
manner, we'll respond in a (hopefully) helpful manner. If you want
to act like a retard and get smart answers, go hire a consultant.
To prevent such tonguelashing in the future, please ask smart
questions. Eric S. Raymond tells you just what the world expects out
of a call for help:
