I really have to agree with Rich. I am a newbie. I have been reading the
lists and watching the IRC and doing what I can to learn. 

The general feel that I get is a feeling of intolerance for people
trying to learn and understand. Is it intentional? Do the people in the
know not want anyone else to be part of a great app? Just wondering.
Please try to have some consideration for everyone and follow Rich's
suggestion, " If you don't like the questions, delete it and stop
cluttering the list."

I will continue to and use and learn because I think it is a great app. 

Just my observations.

Thanks,
Dustin Knuttgen
