    I don't think the idea was to keep the neophytes from reading UNIX-WIZARDS.

    On the other hand, some of the people here get irate if a newcomer
    starts asking questions that 2 minutes of looking through the Unix
    Programmer's Manual would answer.

The problem is that it takes about 6-12 months of normal usage to learn
where to find every thing that you need to know in the Unix Prog Man (You
must admit that it is not the best organized manual in the world). Also
even when it is found it may not be clear (or even correct), or it may
not even be there.
