Subject: Another plea for civility (was RE: CNAME lookup failed ...)


At the risk of pouring fuel on this fire, I would like to make a suggestion.
Instead of invective, what we need are clear, concise instructions for our
new members. A later respondant in this thread pointed out the FAQ, which
is a good start. Indirect pointers to the archive can be found there, but
it is not as clear as it should be. Perhaps we should point people to the
actual link, rather than just telling them to search the archive. It is
easier and quicker to have a canned message pointing them to the FAQ and the
Archive.

Finally, a plea for civility. Don't curse at people, teach them. As any
teacher will tell you, teachers get almost as much out of teaching as the
people receiving the instruction. That's why most people become teachers.
It sure isn't for the money. Treat people the way you would want to be
treated if the situations were reversed. If not because it is the civil
thing to do, do it because we should strive for some level of professional
courtesy. Remember, we all started out as newbies.

1) it is useless to repost. we got your message.
2) search the damn archives. this pops up regularly.
