[Samba] Attention newbies, an apology.. I WASN'T slamming you.

I'm sorry I gave the appearance I was slamming you.

The tone was supposed to be "Please, help yourself
first, here's why... here's ALL of the resources I use
to help myself."  I've successfully been able to keep
questions about Samba to this list down to a minimum
by first consulting all of my sources and perhaps you
can, too.

As I read it again, it had the appearance of hatred
and anger, and I really didn't want that.  I actually
spend ALOT of time answering simple questions in our
LUG mailing list, in person, over the phone, and in
the class we put on.  Newbies are important, and I
haven't forgotten where I came from.

The first time I used Linux, the help command didn't
help, info didn't give me info, and dir didn't even
work.  I haven't forgotten that.  I just want you to
learn how to help yourself.

So if you were offended, please accept my apology,
understand my point, and look at the original email
again; there's good information in it how to help
yourself:

Good luck,
