IMHO those who are totally inexperienced end-users may be better off 
with Ubuntu or Mint. Given the cutting edge nature of this project it 
seems less suited for inexperienced end-users. The other projects I 
mentioned also get their fair share of n00bs. Nothing wrong with being a 
n00b. In many areas I am sure I am a n00b too. Yet those projects seem 
quite successful in maintaining how they want their Community to 
interact. Don't see why it's unreasonable to expect an on-topic mailing 
list.

Yeah the homework questions are always quite obvious.

Agree to disagree. I see someone who is trolling and/or has some wires 
cross-connected.

Contempt? Nope, life's too short for that. If it's unnecessarily harsh 
to point out the official purpose of this list and mailing list 
guidelines then again let's agree to disagree.
