Unfortunately what I see is that the >clueless the user the more rude people are to them. Yes. These are all valid points. There are two types of clueless people. The lazy and those who tried but dont get it. I will tell you that _BOTH_ of these types present a great opportunity for FreeBSD. Even the one who is lazy should still be treated respectfully if he is to be treated at all. That person will come to know our way. (if not he will be shunned eventually, we cant please all the people all the time) We on -questions should lead from the vantage of those in front of the pack and not from the vantage of those in the back of the pack. This will show those up and comers where they want to go rather than where they already are.
