My pages are at 
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/

Another member, Godwin, also has some very clearly written pages.
Godwin, I'm too darn lazy to look it up right now, but Abe san, at least
some of his pages are linked to from my linuxfaq (for beginners) page.

While I'm at it, Jonathan, Josh and myself have several QND guides (for
quick and dirty) located at http://www.qnd-guides.org

There is are some excellent guides online as well.  A couple of them are
referenced in the faq I mentioned.

I would like to join the other members of this list who have
complimented you on your attitude.  Yes, sometimes being criticized on a
mailing list can make your stomach hurt--I think (and I believe that
Jonathan and Josh as well as many others agree) that the important thing
is how you react to it.  Rather than getting angry and leaving, you read
the criticism and learned from it.

I think most of us have wound up posting something ill advised, and been
roundly criticized for it.  I once posted a link to a page of mine on
here--Jonathan soundly criticized it.  After a few days of feeling
miffed, I realized that his criticism was accurate--and found that when
I told him that, he was more willing than many to help.

Turnbull sensei [1] is another--I believe he was one of the first who
responded to your post and while he had many criticisms, he also made an
effort to help--you'll find that many here are like that.


[1] Note how I cleverly accede to his wishes by avoiding the use of the
title "Dr." but still show that I consider him learned and show my
respect.
