<div dir="auto">Hey guys, you are all awesome. Keep up the good work. I'm on my boat in Mexico, and have not been interested in chirp for 7 months. But even though I only get some coverage when I'm in port, I still read most of the threads. <div dir="auto">I do agree that it might be frustrating with newbe's but answers or links to the answer will help us all. </div><div dir="auto">Adios</div><div dir="auto">Walt </div><div dir="auto">N6STM</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 9, 2018 3:32 PM, "Al Jones" <<a href="mailto:al@aljones.us">al@aljones.us</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I like the give and take from all the people here *except* that there are<br>

We get a new member who doesn't know what he's doing, thinks he's read<br>
everything and is still missing "something" --- and one of our beneficent<br>
members replies "RTFM!" or someone else chimes in with "get the right<br>
cable!" or better yet "That won't work!"<br>
<br>
Those one line zingers are not only NO help, they're probably going to turn<br>
off some guy who might eventually be the one to help someone else, down the<br>
line.<br>
<br>
I have a friend who had a Linux problem and the response he got here was -<br>
"It works fine with *my* Ubuntu!" Sometimes confirmation that something<br>
works is a big help, it just means that we're not looking in the right<br>
place. When I phrased his question differently I got some great assistance<br>
... there are some good guys here and to them I say "Thanks!"<br>
