i think here we have our problem: Ben WASN'T the 'newbie'
who flamed, the 'newbie' (sorry, i don't want to call you
newbe...) in that case was bjoern ramann who asked.
Someone replied and Ben said 'rude bastard'. The only one
who CAN be pissed is Tobias Reckhard, but i don't think
that he'll be. Ben tried answered correctly the question first.

but we should stop here by now. Leaving the list cause someone
had a bad day isn't the way i think. This list is, like Roman
said, a very good list with a mix of professionals, newbies and
'normal users', and i would like not to see such postings again
here, we're old enough to handle such things privat if we
think we have something to handle, otherwise just ignore a
mail or put a person in you whatever filter...

thats a kind of respect imho.

So long
