   Actually, no, I don't want to make newbies look stupid. (Stupid   
   people certainly don't need *my* help advertising that fact.) I used   
   to be the maintainer of a FAQ aimed at rank beginners (a.k.a.   
   newbies) and if you've ever seen it (I don't remember if you were a   
   reg in abhb or not; it was the alt.binaries.hacking.beginner   
   Frequently Ignored Answers file), you know I do my best to actually   
   tell them something useful. (Most of my advice is along the lines of   
   "be legal" and such.)

   Well... I'll grant that the group is pretty f*cking dead right now...   
   Maybe the OP thought that "dead" = "no rules".
