minor issue on question that i had posted !!

to the moderators of this site...
i posted a question several weeks ago about a egep -e if you look through my posts you will see that my question was fully plausible as a reasonable post that could have been answered even it was to say that I should search the man pages myself and find the answer.. I was completely confused at the time and did not know why the command did not work. infact I searched through everything trying to find the answer... only to find that nobody was ready to approach the subject matter either so i gave up.. take into the consideration that I am still quite a newbie and did not know that this command exists --help since it is so easy to overlook... I have been trying to figure out the answer to this question for weeks now and just finally found the answer by accident.. on fedora the egrep -e file1 file2 works with a -f flag and this i did not know.. at the time i asked my question I gave my version and linux flavor and still no one answered i tried to make a habit of keeping that information on my posts only to be insulted by someone who shall remain nameless since he is probably half my age... i have asked many questions since then have found that my questions tend to be overlooked more and more everytime that I post one.. if my approach to unix is not proper then please say so since I am confused about what I have done... . i am very serious about learning unix and have no money to go to school at the moment take any real hardcore courses which I would ace.... and also I read books, thats all I do is read and read and understand whatever I can.. so if i seem a little green compared to some of the other students all that I can is that I am probably more serious about unix that most of the unix population on this forum.. my father has been in the business (in major ways for over 28years, my two younger brothers both have their own companies one deals with software and the other with webhosting, and they are both very successful.. so I am probably correct in my assumptions about my concourse with unix.. i have made it my life long project and choice of career and will probably be doing precisely what I am doing with unix 20 years from now as I am doing now and for the last year.. to make a long story short.. if i don't have the internet communication skills that most of your students have and can't post how can learn if the rules of the forum are not sufficient enough to gain respect from thiose of you who have the skills and abilities to either make or brake my chances of learning something constructive from this forum...

NAME

       forum - Interactive Help for MRTG users

SYNOPSIS

       There is a lot of written documentation for mrtg. But never the less you may have a problem where you can't find the solution.  In this
       case some Human Help may be necessary. With MRTG there are several ways to get Humans to help you.

MAILING-LIST
       There are three mailing lists for MRTG available.

       mrtg
	   for discussion among mrtg users

       mrtg-announce
	   for announcements regarding new versions of mrtg related software

       mrtg-developers
	   for discussion among people who write software in connection with mrtg or who hack mrtg itself.

       THE RULES

       Please note, that the memebers of the mrtg mailinglist value politeness highly. This means behave in a way you would like others to behave
       towards you.

       o   No shouting. (NO CAPS)

       o   No rude language

       o   No demands. everybody is on the list out of their own free will. If you do not get an answer to your question, chances are high that
	   you did not give sufficent details about the nature of your problem or that the answer to your problem is in the documentation.

       o   If you do not follow the rules you will be unsubscribed from the list with no further questions asked.

       o   Decisions about your unsubscription from the list will be taken by

	    Alex van den Bogaerdt <alex@slot.hollandcasino.nl>
	    Paul C. Williamson	  <pwilliamson@MANDTBANK.COM>

	   If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, you may send mail to me and explain the situation.

       SUBSCRIBING

       These lists are managed by a mailing-list management software (listar).	It allows you to subscribe to these lists by sending a message
       with the subject: subscribe to the following address:

	listname-request@list.ee.ethz.ch

       You will then get a message asking you to confirm your subscription.

       For posting to the lists use the following address

	listname@list.ee.ethz.ch

       Note that only people who are subscribed to the list can post.

       Further information about the usage of the mailing lists is available by sending a message with the subject line help to either one of the
       request addresses.
