Using this forum as a crutch for basic questions may get you answers fast, but it means you are not going to learn very well.

Yes but then why these mailing lists are for? I am a newbie, I don't have the time to learn all the things but I have to implement the things.
You are missing my point. Those people, myself included, were volunteering our time to get you started. You are now asking RTFM questions. This list should be your _last_ resource *AFTER* you have read the relevant manual pages, googled and read the HOW-TO and commentaries and, hopefully, experimented. If you use this list as first resource without taking any initiative two things will happen. 1. You won't learn for yourself. 2. People will become fed up with you asking questions that a little bit of initiative on your part (RTFM/google) could have answered. -- The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away.
