I agree. But:
So, gents.
I know - that's not irc.
But, is that just USERS list?.
I'm user, not programmer - I read docs. When its in polish or english I
understand same.
NOT ALL. Mailing list I read generally.
Two times I send few questions (I hoped that other USER may know a solution)
and receive no answers. And I don't scream. I see also header "first
read...".
So, if you see some stupid or naive question igrore that.
