</div>well said. By discouraging "noobz" we're being selfish, aren't we? :)<br>
Don't we want to share this gift with everyone? Isn't that one of the<br>
fundamental ideas of free software? If we want to share properly, we<br>
should stop being rude towards "noobz". I doubt if anyone here was<br>
born with the entire Linux kernel code imprinted in his/her brain.<br>
Everyone was a newbie once.<br>
