Sorry if my sentence felt offensive. I think the purpose of the newbies
mailing list is also for newbies to *learn* their way around, and
explaining that posting a question on the right mailing list is I think
important. I have no problem with "newbies" doing mistakes, otherwise I
wouldn't be subscribed on this list and I wouldn't reply to questions.
So, really, my statement was really for information, but I understand
that my wording might have been understood differently. Apologies if
that was the case.

Best regards,

Thomas
