Am I the only one who thinks it's okay if the big techie types aren't
friendly to all the newbies?  A lot of the people getting flamed are
showing up and asking basic questions that are in the FAQ or just post
something like "I tried installing on my IPX and it didn't work".  No
details as to what release or even how it "didn't work".

There have actually been times when I was surprised people didn't get
HARSHER treatment...

If it was a openbsd-help or openbsd-newbies list, I would find it
unacceptable (okay, less acceptable)...
