You don't *really* mean that, do you?  Did you ever see somebody on this 
news group refusing help to a newbie, even if the answer is written on 
one of the readme's loud and clear?  I think no newbie can boast that 
he/she was being told off by somebody here, ever.

Let me remind you: this thread was born when I asked what confuses newbies
in DJGPP, and then, in a moment of bad judgement, passed an innocent joke
about the reply I got.  Maybe jokes is too much for that subject, and I
doubt if I could ever do anything to make people less confused, but this
cerainly doesn't change in any way the help which is offered here for
everybody.

Same here.
