I've come to realize, as both a past and present newbie on several
projects, there are those that will drive by and give you the finger
regardless of how much effort you expend, and there are those that
will stop and help even if you've done nothing for yourself.  People
are still people on lists, and there are those that are helpful, and
those that aren't.

As a newbie, if you just have some thick-ish skin, try to do you
homework, and expect to be flamed, I think you'd be happier.  I know I
am ;)
