I see very few newbies that get upset by smack talk. One
has to read to be offended, and far, far too many newbies
do not read. Which is one of the things that upsets clue.
I still stand by previous observation, by the way, that
most mac newbies can read and write messages while most
windows newbies can not.
But yes, the web site should have something on it about the
fact that this is a competitive game, where at times tempers
and emotions can be raised to a high level, and as such there
is smack talk.
Falcon has a macro that he fires off at times that explains
the concept of :ita that does seem to help; I do not recall
if Joe's tutorial goes into detail about :ita, or if the
Mac docs reference it or not. If either one does not go into
details on what :ita is and how to make use of it then they
should probably be updated with that information.
