I've never understood that. Even when I was a complete noob (actually,
I still am after four years of Linux) I never took the mailing list
help for granted. Where does that attitude come from? I could only
guess that it is the average age of users getting lower every year,
and kids today seem to expect everything to be handed to them. Maybe
this could explain it:
