Mother, make the bad man go away.

Seriously, this seems very harsh (I'm not sure if you're serious or playing
devil's advocate). Yes, newcomers can ask some pretty basic questions that
are almost certainly answered in the vfaq or are prominent in the manual.
And, yes, they can end up posting in general rather than new users.

But they may well be new not just to POV but to the internet and computers
in general. Firm and friendly guidence in basic netiquette is appropriate,
but they don't deserve to be humiliated or scared witless.
