It does not take an electronically inflated ego to see that you are being
silly, and there exists other newsgroups (comp.unix.questions for example)
for questions that simply don't belong in this newsgroup. On the other
hand, one may also take a highly irregular approach to obtaining answers for
various UNIX-related questions by carefully reading the FAQ texts and other
UN*X literature [see listing] instead of posting something somewhere.

There are multitudes of ways to ask a question. Posting to this here
net in the appropriate place is only one way.
