I'm living in the "Dovecot mailing list" which has historically been a 
very tolerant and forgiving place to learn?  Do you mind if I continue 
to remain "sheltered"?

I for one don't want the tone of this list to deteriorate to "NANAE" 
levels....

There are plenty of lists and forums where you can get sarcastic answers 
from folks with more experience than ones self. Please lets try and keep 
the tone of this list as the friendly, helpful place it has been?

To offer just an *opinion*, being sarcastic (or just less than fully 
helpful) to "idiots" who "can't be bothered" to learn the basics before 
posting is rarely beneficial. Many simply leave and go elsewhere. Some 
do the spadework and become "experienced", but in turn they usually 
respond in the same sharp way to new "inexperienced" questions... The 
circle continues...

I find it helpful to always presume there is a reason I should respect 
the poster, despite what might look like a lazy question to me.  Does 
someone with 10 years of experience in their of field deserve me to be 
sharp with them because they tried to skip a step and ask a "lazy 
question" without doing their own leg work?  Only yesterday I was that 
dimwit having spent 5 hours applying the wrong patch to a kernel and 
wondering why it failed to build, until I finally asked their list and 
got a polite reply pointing out my very trivial mistake...

Lets assume everyone deserves some respect and take the time to answer 
the dim questions politely?

Oh well, pleading over. Good luck and genuinely thanks to Stan for 
spending his valuable time here. Here's hoping you will continue to do 
so, but also being nice to the dummies?
