Maybe you need to check your assumptions. The closest thing to an
"attack" was my stating of opinion that the requester was a new unix
user. I'm sure given time, the user would have either confirmed or
refuted the opinion and life moves on. 

As for turning off potential contributors, you must maintain current
contributers to ever think of getting potential ones. I know I haven't
done a great deal of code contributions, but I do help when possible on
list. Granted that has been slipping as the newer users piss me off so
much more frequently and my activities to relieve that annoyance
therefore grows more time consuming.

BTW, Learn to use proper quoting and inline responding so you look like
you might have a clue.
