I'm not sure it will help. Newbies often (but not always)

it's probably more useful to discuss dog training with a
coffee mug than with some of these meatheads people are

I'm with Melinda. I considered bringing back my weekly "how
to understand this newsgroup" and "how to killfile" autoposts
when I reappeared here, but I don't think it's worth the tiny
expenditure of resources.

Individuals can either fairly quickly see things here for what
they are, and adapt, or they're stupid.

There's a *lot* of that going around. I recall one recent twit in
particular who considered it a point of honor to "stand up to Jerry"
because, as he put it, "no one else seemed to be doing it".

Where's a clue-by-four when you really need one?
