The meta issue here is mentorship vrs. newbie biting, and I
fear too much of the latter and far too little of the former
are occuring.
Sam, I agree with you on this point, but may I just say that your responses
are coming up in my Outlook mail reader in such a fashion that the message
to which you are replying is presented as if it were original text, and that
this is confusing. I don't know how gmail presents your posts; presumably it
isn't a problem for you to distinguish between quoted and original text.
I used to use gmail for this list, and it is superb for list traffic, but
I'm now using my "basic" email address as a sign of good faith, so I
can't
easily check how your posts look in gmail.
