[ben 0] As a moderator of lists in the past, I can say in David's defense
that the dozens of messages daily asking for help with trivially simple
tasks for

[Lester 1] I see. A poor dumb primate asking for help is trivial. Parading
as a Halloween character named "Lucifer" is non-trivial. Please teach me
other non-trivial things that happen here. So's I don't interrupt them.

[ben 2] Read it again. I never said or even implied that your request for
assistance was trivial; the complexity of the task you could not grasp
without help is what's trivial. Why so defensive?
