And yes you perfectly seem hostile (with this email too). Your answers might be precise and directions could also be good but way of handling newbies is something poor, however, this point I am chucking (like an old shoe). Though there are numerous people who have more than 15+ years of experience and I have never seen them (or anyone of them) talking like this but still have seen them landing people and newbies on moon. Moreover, while your suggestions could be (I don't know much about Linux till now) good but following them requires you too to be gentle in words, be respectful to everyone [even to newbies, they too are persons, ;)- ], and in return you would get respect. I always respect everyone and I know more than 100+ people (having experiences 15+ years in information technology) and I always pay them respect, but simultaneously I talk politely to any newbie of any field, and it doesn’t harm me ever.
