Splitting the newsgroup won't help.  I am addressing the issue of why
expert contributors to this and other newsgroups tend to say "RTFM"
rather than repetitively and kindly re-explaining everything every time
a newbie [not a pejorative] asks a novice or inappropriate question.
It's not cost efficient to pretend this is CIS/BPROGA.

Newsreader education lags; things fall apart, the [computing?] center
cannot hold; there is no perfect solution; but no opportunity to remind
folks of new.announce.newusers should go amiss.

Enough trivia, back to C.
