Hi, Sue - Many of us were newbies recently enough to _still_ consider ourselves in that group. I enjoy answering questions I understand [ somewhat ;\ ], and I get a lot of good stuff from the -questions list, but I wouldn't sign up for YAML. I think the key is to not be embarrassed to ask anything. If you'll check back in your recent core memory, I think you'll find that the only ones who've gotten battery acid replies were the dinks who asked stupid questions about W9x drivers, or those who couldn't be bothered to immortalize good spelling, or those whose questions were more than slightly acidic in the first place. I am amazed at how lively, pertinent and vitally useful -questions is. Compared to almost any other list I frequent, the signal-to-noise is extremely high. I 'third' the search-archive problem. Improvement is necessary there, although the hiccuping hub.freebsd disk may be somewhat to blame.
