Re: Newbie/Pro list

I have to agree with Benjamin. As a long time lurker of this and other
lists it is difficult to know how to ask a question that will not offend
someone. So what do we do? Ask anyway a famous man has said "You have
not, because you ask not."
Ask away my Linux friends!  If some people get annoyed so be it.

If I can help I will, I want to know I ask, otherwise I listen.

Just remember someone was patient enough to teach you. 
(even if it was yourself)

My two cents.

Regards,
Brandon Johnson
