Because you don't pay me enough. If you want to be spoon-fed, then i 
want to be paid.

I especially don't like helping people who don't appear to help 
themselves. See what google has to say about linux routing.

Even (shock horror) go buy a book. Sams has some good ones. Oreilly has 
a lot (but maybe not for beginners).

My first Linux was Slack 2.6 on a book. My second was the official RHL 
3.0.3 retail pack.

There's a lot of email on this list, and I could probably spend all day 
on it. I won't, unless I'm paid to do so.

if you want help from the best people on this list (and I don't 
necessarily mean me, there are other experienced users here too), then 
you need to make your question interesting to them.
