Unfortunately not everyone knows that if you ask a general question, without
doing some research on your own, that you will get flamed.  I agree that
Scott has made tons of contributions to this group and to the community as a
whole, but all that goes down the drain as soon as you chew out a newbie for
asking an over simplified question, IMO.  Maybe we have forgotten what it is
like to first start using RPG???

My opinion was it was an out-of-line email, but yet correct(some what) in
it's message.  The question could have been just as easily answered by
providing a URL to some resources.

I didn't see any arrogance.  But then, I'm familiar with the contributions
Scott has made (and continues to make) to the community.  If you want to see
a somewhat more common answer to someone asking questions about
fundamentals, please see
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html  I dug the reference
out of http://faq.midrange.com
