My comment was meant to be taken as a gentle elbow to the rib cage, hence the smiley, and not as an insult. As for this list? I have seen what appears to be an increase in Newbies. Which is good. Good for Fedora and Linux in general. We were all Newbies at one time. Do you also follow any other Fedora lists? There are a ton of Newbies on the fedora-testers list. Newbies at Rawhide for sure. And many Newbies at Linux. The Newbies questions and the 'how-do-I-do' questions don't bother me one bit. What bothers me are the Newbies that installed Linux, any distro, and know nothing about it. No research, reading, nothing.
