Go ahead.  We're really quite nice.  Extraordinarily so by
Usenet standards.

There's a tutor list:

I guess I'm out, the only thing I can claim is middle-age. :)

We generally encourange questions to be posted in public forums
such as the tutor list or c.l.p so that others can benefit from
the exchange as well.  No matter what you ask, somebody else
will someday want to know the same thing, and Google will find
them the answer if it's in a public forum.
