There is a _difference_ between intelligence and maturity.
Newsgoup FAQS aren't terribly technical. It is the application of
the principles and netiquette in the FAQS that Colin is referring too.

I'm glad you are really good with computers though.
I'll send you the architecture for a  64-bit RISC machine
and you can design the processor for me. The timing for
the pipeline is slowing me down. Each stage needs to
be more or less equal to reduce the delays.......
