Ah-freakin'-men. Gunnar, what the *hell*? I've been reading this list for a couple of months now and the majority of your posts seem to be little more than chiding people in an extremely unpleasant tone.
If you find a *particular* post "extremely unpleasantly" worded, please say so and explain why, and I'll be happy to give my view.
Do you think it's consistent with this list's claim to be a place where beginners can ask questions in a friendly environment?
Even if I'm not sure what "it" is, let me make clear that I for one expect people to give it a *serious* try before asking a group of volunteers for help. Doing so is "civil", the opposite is rude.
As regards Kevin's initial post in this thread, I still don't think that an hour is very long time when it comes to debugging, and talking about not wanting to "waste time" is not an appropriate way IMO to approach a forum with a problem. It's at least not an appropriate way to approach me. ;-)

That document is well applicable to this list. The fact that it's a beginner-level list does not make a difference with respect to general etiquette, right?
