I am in a similar position on other projects although we use web forums which makes it easier. I certainly don't want to get into that argument though. I struggle a great deal to be nice to people who haven't made any kind of effort to even ask a sensible question so I do understand. The challenge is to think someone is stupid yet to manage a polite, constructive and non-arrogant reply (or just say nothing if you can't). At least web forums have emoticons - a smiley fixes everything!! Gentlemen... keep up the good work. Even an idiot like me thinks that git is a fantastic project. It has saved me hours of pain and effort.
