Re: When you're a rank noob (was Re: Old Computer Parts)


Then that's what you say at the beginning of your email. :)

These two quotes are guaranteed to garner sympathy:
"I'm a noob and I don't know enough to know where to begin
to look."
"Internet access is flaky, slow and expensive."

Differs from list to list, I guess. In the days when I was still learning
Red Hat, just being a noob meant you were flamed, regardless. The
unwritten rule regarding noobs seemed to be:

Flame
Flame
Flame
Read his question
Flame
If he's still on the list, tell him to RTFM (even if he already has)
Flame some more
