Message-ID: <20393@sequent.UUCP> Date: 18 Aug 89 18:01:17 GMT Reply-To: brians@sequent.UUCP (Brian Sheets) Organization: Sequent Computer Systems Lines: 20 I am an avid reader of many newsgroups and I have noticed something that really is disturbing. new users who come here with the intent of learning things getting flamed for for not knowing something. All you people out there who jump to flame these people who are just trying to gain a little information by asking question need to stop before they hit that "F" or "R" key and remember when you where just starting out and put yourself in their position. Also remember that not everyone who reads news is a "Technical" person and that it is just a source of information and not a way of life. -- Brian Sheets KA7KDX _ /| "I'll be back" 19730 SW Prospect Ln. \`o_O' Aloha, Or 97007 ( ) Aachk! - Arnold Schwarzenegger, 503-526-4091 U Phft!
