- Well, let me put it this way:
-
- I want to drive a car. I don't know how the car works. No, I don't go and

- I want to irc. I don't know how the computer works. No, I don't go and try
- it just like that - first I read the manual, how to turn this bloody thing
- on, or even better, attend a computer class!

-
- So, if I don't want to learn, how to get the car started and how to use it,
- I don't drive.
