What you're saying is true to an extent, but you are making the
unwarranted assumption that there are knowledgeable people around who
are willing to help a new user with the (totally bizarre & terribly
documented) UNIX environment.  I'm learning here, and it's tough
finding people willing to answer 'stupid' questions.  What we really
need is a comp.unix.stupid-questions, (or better yet, Guy Steele to
write a UNIX manual), but until then, you are free to send your stupid
questions to me.  I may not have the answer, but I will give you the
respect you deserve...
