| Personally, I find the so-called 'newbie' questions very important, as they
often (as in the urrent example) highlight issues of error-handling and
documentation which might otherwise never get reported. Also, I don't know
what category I would be in - I'm not an 'oldie' either as a programmer or
as a Csound user, I waft betweeen 'newbie' and 'middleie' most of the time.
There is also the point that one may be a newbie in one rea, but an oldie in
another, so I am content to see everything in the one melting pot.
