> Please forgive me if this sounds harsh, but I have two small gripes about the list

>
> Gripe #1:
> This list gets a considerable amount of "junk" email messages and others where 30 people
> answer the same simple question because they don't first check the entire thread to see
> if others have already answered. Please, please... go through your entire inbox before
> you answer a question, because chances are, others have already answered it. You will not
> catch the old timers on this list answering every single question (even though they
> undoubtedly know the answer, because they realize this). The idea is to be considerate of
> everyone who has to read all this stuff and also has a limited time budget.
>
> Gripe #2:
> Before you ask a very straightforward and general question like "What is IRC", please,
> please, check these four places first:
> 1) google.com
> 2) webopedia.com
> 3) cisco.com
> 4) groupstudy.com (archives)
>
> This mail list is intended for CCIE -level candidates who have already passed the written
> exam. While I know this is not enforced (should be in my mind), at least respect the
> other members enough not to wast time, synapses, internet bandwidth, and precious free
> web-mail space ;-) on these easily found questions. I shudder to think anyone who has
> passed the CCNA/CCNP/CCIE Written would not know what IRC is. A good CCIE candidate would
> probably never ask something before trying to find the answer himself, especially
> something relatively straightforward and not arcane in any way. Most of us are too proud
> to admit we don't know something, but this serves as a benefit and keeps this list of
> 10,000+ members manageable. I know most computer users these days think the world wide
> web IS the internet, but don't let one of us old BBS sysops catch you asking what gopher,
> whois, finger, or IRC means.
>
> If I have offended anyone with this email, I apologize. I'm just trying to share my own
> opinion about how we can keep this list more efficient and more useful to everyone. Those
> who understand will not be offended, those who are offended don't understand. But please
> yell at me off-line.
