Many of the posts from people who don't check the archives may be newbies to
Cobalt servers, but they're not newbies to the Internet. I find it extremely
rude not to at least check the Cobalt web site that has links to the
knowledgebase before posting here. I don't find it rude at all to point
those resources out. Many times, someone posts an error message that they
got in an admin email from their server. Pasting that exact error message
into the search on the Cobalt Users web page brings up the answer. It's
simple common sense.
