[avr-gcc-list] Kindness and respect.

    Folks,

        I'm feeling a little sad that the members of this list are not
        being more kind to a new user who doesn't understand all the
        intricacies of using an embedded processor in C.

        If I had known the exact syntax of "extern volatile unsigned..."
        I would have replied, but I knew that someone else knew more
        about it than I did, so I kept silent.

        Now, I'm seeing what I think are kind of snotty replies to this
        person asking a question that is completely reasonable.

        Could I encourage people to either not post, or post something 
        helpful.

        This business is hard enough to figure out without getting 
        slapped when you ask a question that is obvious to everyone but 
        you.

                                -Alan
