I think it depends on how you "educate" new users. If we continue

unlikely to enamour people. Perhaps when people ask questions we
could just start with the RTFM answer that got linux such a
wonderful reputation. At least then they would have something to 
work with.

We dont need to be rude & demanding to new users, But some existing
users should actually start reading what other post here, and THINK
about what they are saying.

Exactly - but more importantly, veteran users (like Tom) should make a
minimal effort to abide by the lists general guidelines - in this case,
STOP freaking top-posting Tom! - otherwise, newbies will quickly see
that they can also just give the finger to the rest of us.

Seriously Tom - that is the way I take it when you simply refuse to
abode by the guidelines - you are telling the rest of us to go F---
ourselves...

I guess that is why I plonked you a long time ago (I'm only seeing your
posts now because others I *haven't* plonked are replying to you)...
