[NBLUG/talk] Homework questions

Most questions on this list are from folks having problems with their Linux
systems at home or at work.....or from trying nw things in said Linux
systems.....homework questions are specific to a graded learning
environment. No one doubts your integrity. It's not about respect or
compassion....it's about not doing your homework for you. When I took Linux
Sys Admin and Shell Scripts I was soooo tempted to ask for help on this
list....sometimes I had no clue where I was going to find an answer or a
solution to whatever my homework was....but ultimately and sometimes with
much grumbling I figured it out or figured out where I needed to go to find
the resource, which is invaluable now.

Just my two cents.
