Re: Novice sysadmins (was: Suggestions for a more privacy conscious email provider)

[Harald Koch <chk () pobox com>]

Thirty years ago I started my sysadmin journey on an Internet that was
filled with helpful, experienced people that were willing to share their
knowledge.

Twenty years ago I was one of three people running CA*net, the
cross-Canada research Internet with three connections to the NSFnet. I
don't remember this world of banishment and exile you're discussing; the
NSFnet staff I dealt with were all friendly and helpful.

I plan to continue to "pay it forward", by being friendly and helpful
to "novice sysadmins". The curmudgeons in this thread can, frankly, get off
my lawn.
