Re: Linux-IL FAQ Question



In essence, Marc is asking for our opinions about contemplated escalation 
to super-Marcing level.

My opinion:
Do compile a list of the clueless newbies' questions.  Do include them in 
an appropriate section in the FAQ.  Do Marc the questions by means of 
ridiculing comments and pointers to the appropriate -HOWTO documents.
BUT:
Do NOT include the names of the clueless newbies.

Also, someone should double-check the greeting message which is sent to new 
subscribers to Linux-IL and ensure that it points the newbie at the Web 
site and at E-mail addresses of those volunteers who agreed to pick up the 
burden of answering stupid newbie questions (like the ones Omer asked 
Harvey during his first days in the World of Linux).
