How many netters does it take to flame a novice net user into toasty submission?

    1    to send mail that he submitted to the wrong group.
    9    to reply on the net that he submitted to the wrong group.
    13   to suggest starting a new group, net.dumbells
    17   to start their own article about all the idiots submitting things
	    to the wrong group.
    20   to bemoan the sorry state the net is coming to.
    33   to point out that his initials show he is an ignorant AI project.
    2    to mention a 6 month old article in net.obscure which gives 
	    exactly the information he needs.
    32   to growl "Read The Manual, Dummy!"
    6    to exclaim "Everyone knows it is in /usr/src/trivia/phi/beta/kappa!"
    8306 to silently go "grrr" and hit the 'n' key.
