How to avoid humiliating newcomers: A guide for advanced developers

Thanks. I believe you and I are already in agreement about how to benefit the community. I wrote that problems occur because "I have expectations for how things are going to go, and when those expectations are violated, I get angry." But if I remember my true intention, "Helping a newcomer is its own reward, whether you receive thanks or not." So my take appears to be coming from the same direction as yours. The difference is I acknowledge I'm not yet perfect. =)
