we always try to give positive answers, that is one of the reasons that this site is so helpful to others. i could imagine sometimes a response could be a little sarcastic, especially if the question was a little, well how could i put this, well the question could haev ben answered by the person asking it if only they had dont a little bit of research on their own. however beyond that, i have NEVER seen any moderator here flat out flame, or insult anyone, nor have i ever seen any moderator give misleading, or unhelpful answers. i can assure you that any response by a moderator is a helpful one. and anything you interpret to be sarcastic, just realize that it is probably good natured and no harm was every intended 
.
also remember another thing that is very important, though it is easy to get mad at someone on an online BBS, you are on the INTERNET. there is no reason whatsoever to take anything to heart that is illnatured.
also this is the friendliest site i have ever been on. i am a member of a few other forums and people can be VERY mean
. you will also see that any threads containing any flames are locked right away. if you look at the rules youw ill see that NO FLAMES etc etc is one of them. and we enforce ALL of the rules here.
this is a good place to learn, AND to help others.

MODERATORS(5) File Formats Manual MODERATORS(5) NAME
moderators - mail addresses for moderated Usenet newsgroups DESCRIPTION
The GetModeratorAddress(3) routine reads the file /etc/news/moderators to determine how to reach the moderator of a newsgroup. This is used by inews(1) when an unapproved local posting is made to a moderated newsgroup. The file is read until a match is found. Blank lines and lines starting with a number sign (``#'') are ignored. All other lines should consist of two fields separated by a colon. The first field is a wildmat(3)-style pattern. If it matches the name of the newsgroup, then the second field is taken to be a format string for sprintf(3). This string should have at most one %s parameter, which will be given the name of the newsgroup with periods transliterated to dashes. Here is a sample file: foo.important:announce-request@foo.com foo.*:%s@mailer.foo.com gnu.*:%s@prep.ai.mit.edu *:%s@uunet.uu.net Using the above file, postings to the moderated newsgroup in the left column will be sent to the address shown in the right column: foo.important announce-request@foo.com foo.x.announce foo-x-announce@mailer.foo.com gnu.emacs.sources gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu comp.sources.unix comp-sources-unix@uunet.uu.net HISTORY
