Re^5: (OT) Get the number of blocks per second by reading the proc diskstats file

Can you consider someone who knows enough to put "(OT)" in the title, a newbie? I don't think so

If that is difficult for you to do in a non-abusive way then maybe consider sticking to threads from more experienced members.

You're calling the response offered by ww abusive?

Wow, knowing what 'OT' means separates newbies from someone who should know how to post a question after their first day or two on a forum? It must be that tricky brain tumor acting up again but I just seem to think that consistently posting sarcastic RTFM-type questions to new members, including ones that know what OT means, isn't a great way to welcome someone to a community. But maybe you're right. It could be the brain tumor that's making me feel like being considerate and giving a new member the benefit of the doubt is actually constructive.	[reply]
