HEY BRO I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE STUFF YOU KNOW ABOUT COULD YOU HELP ME OR
REFER ME TO SOME NEWSLETTERS, PEOPLE, ANYTHING THAT WOULD HELP ME FURTHER MY
KNOWLEDGE
I hear the postmaster is a good source for help. 'post' is
an old techie word that means 'hack', and obviously 'master' is someone
really proficient in it. However, because so many people mail and ask
for help, he carefully screens those contacting him. You must show
patience above all things, but do not be soft and let him tell you
otherwise. When he tests you by claiming no knowledge of such things,
stand firm and ask him again. Since you come from aol.com, the best
way to contact him would be to mail postmaster@aol.com and ask.
Good luck!
