Geeze: you can't even give an attempt at an encouraging answer here,
without being told you are moaning.  I really don't get that.

As far as I know, this list does welcome newbies, of all shapes and sizes,
and instead of telling the guy to go fly a kite, I suggested that he go
ahead and ask his questions.  If his questions get him answers that lead
him to other lists, than so be it.

In effect, I was trying to stop his preemptive "moaning", as you put it,
and instead I get told that this is what I am doing.

Strange indeed.

I doubt even Janina can fault my original attempt in this one.
