Manners:

1) Quote and reply.  Starting a new thread to complain about previous posts
without letting us know what you're talking about is unfair to everybody.

2) Write sentences.  

3) Never, ever, reply to a post on a mailing list via personal email unless
the poster asks you to.  Private, unrequested, posts are rude.

And actually, many people here _were_ Linux experts already when they got
Ubuntu.  ubuntu was just a slightly different form of Debian in those days.

Yes we should all try to be polite and helpful, or we shouldn't be here, but
some people really make it hard to help them.
