And this, sir, is the reason people don't like the *nix community. Forums make people feel stupid for asking questions; They'd rather flame and scold for 5 minutes instead of providing an answer. I can see how some get frustrated, but that's what teaching is. If you don't want to help, don't be here. I wish I could say to my students; "I covered that in a lecture 3 years ago, go look it up" knowing full well they weren't part of that class 3 years ago People forget that when they become proficient at something, they lose patience with others who aren't at their level; you've forgotten what it's like to learn. Digging through threads of forums is overwhelming when really you believe you have a simple question that no one will answer.
That sums up most of the security forums.
Sorry for the rant; It'll be the only one like it.
