That was but one of the 5 points I was making.  The
other four:
1. Newbies, your questions will often go unanswered
2. Help yourself, here's how
3. Developers are likely to be overwhelmed by the
volume of simple questions.  I'd much rather have them
improve Samba than answer "how do I mount an NT share"
for the 20th time.
4. It's just disrespectful when they went to alot of
work writing documents.

You really must know what questions I'd asked to say
that.  Please don't assume.

Thanks, Robert!  Apology accepted.  Please accept my
apology for being arrogant at your responses.  I
_really_did_ want to help, not bash.
