+<PRE>Speaking from experience (having learned to run ircd and services from
+having *no* knowledge at all about either of them, I have to say that
+he's right.
+
+Reading the manuals, readmes, and FAQs is simply no substitute to coming
+to a help listserv and asking questions that the documentation of the
+programs will be able to help you figure out.
+
+It's much better to figure it out on your own, and actually learn from
+the process.
