Thanks.

I've moved it to a have a slightly less offensive URL, and will be
updating this as more arguments ensue.

http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~dispatch/bsd-self-help.html

Thanks to Wes Peters for the html; I was so annoyed at the flamewar
that I didn't bother taking care of that before putting it up. ;)

I'll be fixing it up further.

Feel free to send newbies here, rather than flaming them.  For those
who haven't read it, this is a "what Mr. Newbie should do before
mailing freebsd-*, how to do those things, and what level of roasting
he can expect if he doesn't do them first, and why."

They do.  But if I gave it to an active committer you'd stop working
on FreeBSD, at least until they were done with you.  And we can't have
that. ;)
