Hi!
I have compiled a list of TOP 10 questions Newbies should NEVER ask on a glug list. Additions welcome ;)
- Who is RMS ?? And who is ESR ??? Why do these people have weird
names?
OK I've got the Linux CD's. But heck, I can't find any setup.exe on it.
Where can I find CD-key for Linux??
Thank God Bill Gates invented email. How can I configure hotmail
in kmail, evolution ?
Where can I get Outlook Express,Office 2000 for Linux?
You mean there is no VB for Linux? How do people write software
then ??
- Yuck, what a stupid name for a programming language.. Python :(
What they will come up with next? Anaconda ??
- I use Incredimail, Outlook. What the hell is top posting
everyone here is paranoid about ??
Does anyone have keygen/crack for Opera,vmware ??
I like Windows XP. Well KDE and XP have no comparison man.
Right?

Dear Mr. Joshi,
What are you trying to demonstrate by compiling such questions; it seems you don�t like Newbies though you was also a Newbie once upon a time. Such attitude may give bad impression to the students and users who are new to GNU/linux or planning to migrate from other technology to Free Software. GLUG�s mailing list is formed with the aim to promote GNU/Linux and to help Newbies but not to make fun of Newbies.
Now I have 10 compiled lessons for you
1. You don�t seem to be a true GNU/Linux Professional, 2. You are highly inspired by Proprietary companies like M$ etc. 3. You must be very selfish. (you forgot you was also a Newbie) 4. GLUG bombay was started with couple of member today it has near about 1000 members (Its all because of Newbies not because of you) 5. Do you think you are a technology master? (You are a peanuts comparing to Newbies, they just need a platform which for you a topic of fun) 6. You are a shame for your teachers, they never made joke for your questions whenever you asked. 7. GLUG list doesn�t require people like you, who believe in criticize rather helping. (Seriously tell me how many newbies you helped till today, who was the fool asked a question to a fool) 8. Next time don�t try to show your intelligence on GLUG. Find some other place to perform such important task. 9. Newbies are the future of GNU/Linux and GLUG list so don�t so don�t mess with them. 10. You should say sorry to all Newbies who are members with GLUG list for your abusing mail.

I think making fun of the Newbie was one of the unstated goals. That is why I made fun of myself when I first joined.
If you feel hurt, go someplace and stop feeling hurt. Then grow up a bit. Then when you feel mature 'nuff to start to wanna talk about GNU/Linux, come here. You'll be welcome.

Thanks for your valuable comment I will defiantly take in to deliberation.
What wrong if I am telling people not to make fun of newbies. Do you think newbie will join GLUG list if they will get such welcome.
This is not a fun place, this is a place to share and explore knowledge

Welcome.

People will join this list if they want to know about GNU/Linux and share some time with people of similar tastes /regardless of other things/.
This is not a fun place, this is a place to share and explore knowledge
This *is* (at least supposedly but not anymore I guess) a fun place. What is knowledge which you cannot enjoy ? For serious academic study, meditation, retrospection and sleep, there are class rooms.
The community shares and explores more when fun is a key ingredient.
Which explains why we have a "grouchy old man" for an admin and we share and explore so much.
