Re: Noobiest noob that ever noobed

I think you are utterly mistaken.

The noob was not harshed out. It was pointed
out to him that his expectations were unreasonable, and
he was given instructions that, if followed, would have
helped him.

Googling for his mud is exactly what I did, and how I
found the connection info (helpfully labeled "Connecting").

Respecting the conventions of a site that is new to you
should not be some alien concept.

Making an effort to listen to advice given to you when you
ask for it is not a process that requires technical sophistication.

Brody was every bit as helpful as the noob's plea
warranted, and vastly more indulgent of the noob's
petulance than he deserved.

I found his original post fully adequate and his subsequent
reaction impressive in its restraint.
