On Tuesday 17 Aug 2004 13:48, The wise and knowledgeable Timothy Payne proclaimed: > > > Okay, I'm really tired and sleep deprived. ;-) I couldn't resist chucking my two penneth worth in first I would like to congratulate Edward M. Croft on his excellent response one or two members would do well to set it as their desktop background to remind them that they are no better than anyone else on this list. I have only been using Linux for about 18 months so I am still very much a novice. I very rarely post to this list for the very reasons Edward made, I watch the posts every day 5 days a week and its incredible see the amount of people shot down in flames! by experts in Linux but lacking in people skills. I deliberately use the little anecdote on the bottom of my mails to remind me and others that its no crime to ask a question even a thousand times the crime is not asking. More importantly I feel better as a human being helping someone than sending them away with a flea in the ear, what has it cost you? two minutes of your time and saved them 2 hours thats a good trade off in my book and I feel better in myself knowing I have made someone happy. -- Regards Peter Cannon peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "There is every excuse for not knowing!"
