I'd help you, but I have a strict policy of *NOT* helping multi-posting
morons with stupid questions that are easily answered by reading
documentation. Sorry.

Now, bugger off.

Incorrect. I've done the above several times, and it's trivially easy.

It's a clueless, drooling Win-droid spouting drivel on a Linux newsgroup.

Yeah - that's the sort of response that typically comes from a total
ignoramus.

What a worthless member you are here. I'm on a lot of Linux groups and
I didn't see this guy post repeatedly. What an arrogant fuck you are.
If you don't want to help someone, don't reply.

Why do you care? That's one of the few Linux groups I don't frequent
(lurk) and I didn't see this poster ask on any others. How many
groups, exactly, did this person post to in total, two?

Who fuckin' cares? The guy probably realized there was a more suitable
group after the first post. If you post in a group and think "oh wait,
maybe that wasn't the best group", then you post it to "networking", I
don't think the guy should be insulted and attacked for it. But,
that's just my view, I don't see a need to just randomly attack someone
and be an asshole if the poster wasn't a clear troll or spammer.
People make mistakes, educate them about cross posting instead (unless
they have been told and publicly refuse to because they are a true
idiot).
