[Bioperl-l] newbies

[Hilmar Lapp]

Angshu, somebody else pointed out already that you really need to take 
a look at the documentation. This wasn't a joke - I can only recommend 
you take that advice pretty literally or soon you'll find yourself 
posting questions and being ignored.

You're not the first newbie ever to hit bioperl or bioperl-db, and 
you're not the first one either to face the problems you're facing - 
that's why we have INSTALL documents and FAQs and such. They were 
written exactly for newbie people like you - not for me or Barry or 
Jason - so that most newbie questions DO NOT have to be addressed over 
the mailing list.

People responding to you do so in their spare time out of very busy 
lives. If you don't read documentation you're essentially saying that 
you don't respect other people's time, because you're happily wasting 
that time for questions you could have easily answered yourself had you 
bothered to read the documentation, instead of using people's time to 
assist with problems which are NOT readily addressed in the 
documentation. If you don't respect somebody's time, why should people 
think you respect them themselves?

I recommend you think about that next time you're going to hit the 
keyboard as soon as something doesn't work as expected.
