- >>You sack of shit. Obviously the reason they don't read the FAQ is probably be-
- >>cause they don't know how. Not everyone is blessed with a complete instant

- >>why don't you just give people a break. When these so called FAQ abusers sit

- >>this group would probably give their lives for rush, man talk about individ-
- >>uallity. So, basically post what ever the hell you want. That's the point of
- >>the group. If you come across a dumb question do what I do, skip it, don't
- >>flame them for it. By what you did, you have shunned the less knowledgable
- >>and they might be to scared to post, thus leaving this newsgroup for just you
- >>and the upper class of rushism. Hey, but thats pobably they way you want it.
- >>All I can say is loosen the fuck up and give people the benefit of the doubt.

- Umm...
- I'm a little new here, but very good with computers. I'm a long-time
- Rush fan, and enjoy reading what everybody has to say. Looking this over, I
- can guess that I'm missing out on something. What is FAQ? If this question is
- good enough to piss you off, I say good. It's your problem, deal with it. If
- you are a kind and gentle person (as I believe Rush promotes), you could help
- by giving me a brief rundown. Thanks would then be in order.
