Please don't be a troll. We've gone through that in this thread. Not
everyone has the same level of expertise. Just because he's learning
does not mean he shouldn't be hear. What did you gain by a cold
statement like that -- other than making it clear that you feel
superior to him because you know *nix and he doesn't know as much as
you?
He's frustrated and asking for help and you take that opportunity to
throw ice water down his back.
How humane and considerate of you. Do you realize what a self serving
statement like that tells the rest of us about you? Are you sure
that's the message you want to send him, as someone who needs help, and
the rest of us seeing it?
