Hi Heather,

Welcome to usenet. I notice you're new to usenet newsgroups.

I wouldn't assume that a persons posting history has anything to do
with their experience with newsgroups. Many have learned the hard way
that Usenet is full of cyber assholes and thus they make a new account
every now and then. Not talking about you Todd, just saying.

His advice may have been brusque, but it was accurate, and not out of
character for the group. After all this is USENET. And being
cantankerous and flaming newbies is all part of the fun for some
folks. The key is not to take anything too personally.

Flaming newbies sometimes turns them into cyber assholes and we have
enough already!

Also, there's an old usenet maxim of which you're unaware that tells
people never to give legal advice, and never to give medical advice.
So your question was somewhat needling at that sore spot.

Maybe the newbie is a troll? Hmm...
