I agree and normally don't like to see newbies treated like they are dumb. In
the case of the other network, however, he apparently gave the impression that
he was a returning sysop who knew what he was doing and then apparently blamed
the sysops of other network systems when he ran into problems.
Maybe they over-reacted and he is all right, but he does seem to be a little
standoffish with the folks trying to help him here, too.
