Techwr-L and Good Will

[David Demyan <ddemyan -at- coppercom -dot- com>]

Bless me, listmaster, for I have sinned....

I have been tempted to retort to list posters of all origin when I felt
the question to be beneath me. I have wondered if by answering a
simple question from a poor lost soul I would somehow unwittingly
jeopardize my own job in the future by sharing basic knowledge
and skills that I took for granted as being required for admittance
to my *profession.* Indeed, I held my own prejudices and used
the fear of *offshoring* as my excuse.

Yes, listmaster, I have been tempted to lash out and show my
supposed superiority.

But then I saw the light. I pledge as a good citizen of Techwr-L
to respond to some of the newbie questions by private return
email. I will not embarrass myself or the newbie by lashing out
in the public forum of Techwr-L (where I would surely earn
official censure anyway).

Jeez, folks, does anyone really think it is cool to belong to this
club if we have to be nasty to be a member?
