Hi Geeks,
This is my first mail to the ILUG, but I do follow mails exchanged.
With due respect to all of the luggers who expressed their views on this thread, I would like to point out something from a newbies point of view.
1. Please understand that we are new to Linux. We want help from LInux gurus like you to help us. And there are many of us, feeling reluctant to ask questions, because we dont know if they will sound silly.
2. Please dont intimidate us with strict rules for sending a mail to LUG mailing list. Let us feel free to ask questions, even if it looks like trivial to geeks. We understand that your time is valuable. But we would like to request you to take some time out to sort out our issues. I understand it when you get irritated seeing a mail seeking job. But let us be happy that there are people out there looking for a job in Linux. We are growing. Let us not think that they are not upto our standards. They didnt get a chance to understand Linux earlier.
3. We will be sad if you start a new mailing list for linux gurus. We will feel left alone. I thought we want to make people aware of Linux and encourage them to use it. Not to create groups of geeks and newbies. Please dont discriminate. Try to help us solve our trivial issues.
4. I personally will agree to categories. Let us give it a try. There is no need to enforce it strictly.
The views expressed here doesn't implicate that any of the esteemed lugger thought low about the newbies.
-- Newbie
