Olin, you have not to be so hard on that guy. Recall, at the beginning
of EE career how important was to get an encouraging friendly advice,
not just a hostile message on "too much drivel in there". The guy
clearly said "thank you, I don't know how, but I'm trying=85"
He isn't a thief, cheater or anyone like that. He is trying to become
EE. He is to belong to our EE guild. Let's try to be friendly at least
inside the guild; life's cruel enough out there.
