Clearly this flame requires a flame. Ryan, are you stupid? Do
you think that throwing out flames helps the situation? Do you think I
have even the slightest bit of interest in what you think of simple newbie
questions?
If it's an inappropriate message, let the administration of the
list remove them. If you're really annoyed WRITE THEM PRIVATE MAIL. I
strongly resent being subjected to (and being forced to write) these
waste-of-my-time-and-bandwidth flames.
You're perpetuating the problem, not fixing it. Flaming really
accomplishes absolutely nothing. Newbies will keep coming, and keep
asking simple questions. If this annoys you, I recommend you remove
yourself from the list rather than waste any more of anyone's time.
I apologize for this message, but I've noticed that a peridoic
flame re:flames tends to kill the flames for a while :)
