I don't help "noobs" on mailing lists because I "get off on it";
I help newcomers on mailing lists and forums and etc. because
I know what it is like to be using a big, complex, and yes, buggy
piece of software for the first time. And how easy it is to be-
come lost, or at least hung up on one small thing you just can't
understand.* And so I try to help them because with just a
little help, just a key to unlock a door here and there, they
just MIGHT enjoy using the software enough that they
keep using it and become contributing members in that
software's community of users.
Perhaps that's not a role some want to play. If it's not, then
perhaps we should launch the Qt-condescending-know-it-
alls-hot...@qt-project.org mailing list right now.**
