Maybe there needs to be more than one list. One for newbies for basic questions, and one for users who have dealt with Linux enough to the point where their questions can't be answered as easily. Also, why doesn't someone put up a basic how to, that shows people how to better find what they are looking for in the archives. As far as getting tired of answering the same questions. If you feel that answering the question is going to anger you, delete the email :) -Marcus
