Now I feel bad for getting a little peeved at a guy over in p.new-users 
:/ Not that it was a terribly hot flame (because it wasn't), but the 
tone wasn't too nice.

Could you give a specific example of what you mean?  Because I haven't seen 
any flame-wars on this server, although I don't read every newsgroup

oh, and uhm... Tim Cook was joking, as one should be able to determine by 
his use of a smiley.

That and the obvious lack of effort bothering to come up with a real flame.

  just a skin,... or a membrane,... or something.

Why? as I mentioned - I can live with it. The issue is when new users post 
polite, genuine questions and then end up sitting through arguments and 
abuse. and why should they have to put up with that crap?
