RE: home network

["biscut" <biscut biscut screaming net>]

dont you perhaps think (take a step back from your position) that
maybe...just maybe that alot of people...inlcuding myself have already gone
to the trouble of trying to look it up themselves ?? ever give that a
thought ?? I thought not...*sigh* I am not trying to "bash" you or
anyone...yes linuxdocs etc are a good idea but you (or anyone) saying look
at the linuxdocs or RTFM (whatever) really doesnt help...thats my opinion
anyway...as another person on this list has already said how about tell
someone to look at a particular section to help them out rather than just
say go look at linuxdocs.org or actually be bothered to take the time to
suggest ways of helping...
