No, truth. When you run Linux for the first time, does it have a 
built-in take you step by step tutorial?  I've never been 'badgered' by 
one.  Remember, the key is Lowest Common Denominator (LCD).  If you hit 
that, then you've pissed off the upper levels, but as one I just dismiss 
it and go about my business.  This is one of those areas that Linux 
desktop designers could learn from their Windows and MacOSX 
counterparts.  I've been down this road before and I don't want the 
flames that are coming back.  Not everyone is a 'genius' and not 
everyone can understand what each icon does.  Remember, Einstein could 
not make change nor did he understand the monetary system, but he still 
managed to buy his groceries, when they were not bought for him.
