I've been reading the posts from comp.lang.c++ for a few weeks now.
However, I've noticed that much of the topics are advanced. I know there is
a alt.comp.lang.learn.c++ forum, more specifically for beginners, but I was
wondering if there is a rule against posting beginner questions in this
forum? I like this forum because of its punctuality and how questions
actually get answered in here (as long as they're on topic). I, being a
beginner, obviously have lots of questions. I was reading the faq for this
group, but I don't recall seeing anything about "newbie" questions in the
forum ( I did see the part about newbie questions, but that's obviously not
every newbie question possible). I
figured it would be ok as long as I keep things on topic (which I would
since I'm nowhere near OS or any specific programming of that nature). I
just wanted to make sure before being driven off this newgroup for a little
ignorance. Thanks.

Newbie questions aren't considered off-topic, but I'm wondering how you got
the impression that there isn't "punctuality" on acllc-c++? Is ten minutes
for a response acceptable, but half an hour just too long for you to wait?
Most questions on acllc-c++ tend to get answered pretty quickly (at least
they do when I'm on patrol...whether or not I'm the one doing the
answering)

The 'rule' more or less is, don't post a question which is answered here: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/
The FAQ really is worth looking at. Worth looking at in particular is the
section on posting to this newsgroup. It will help you understand what
might otherwise seem like rude behavior on the part of people here.

There's no rule against it, but people who ask extremely basic
questions, particularly those who ask many of them, are likely to be
told that they need to get a decent book and refer to it. The group is
not a replacement for a good book, and while many people here are
willing to answer simple questions, it can get annoying.
If you are to the point that you can understand a good chunk of what's
in the FAQ, then your questions are probably advanced enough to avoid
this. But a good book (or several), if you don't already have one, is
highly recommended anyway. (I think the alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ FAQ
has a decent book recommendations section, if you need it.)

Alright, well thanks you guys. I do have a book, but teaching something on

just wanted to prepare because I'm pretty sure I'll end up having to post a
few questions here. Thanks.

You said earlier, "I've been reading the FAQ for this group...", and
your post was specifically about netiquette, but it seems you didn't pay
very close attention to the section of the FAQ that covers netiquette.
I'd suggest going over it again. In particular: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit...t.html#faq-5.4
* Do not top-post. In other words, don't type your reply
above the previous author's text. Even if top-posting
seems "natural" or "obvious" or "better," don't do it —
it's not the comp.lang.c++ "way."
[...]
BTW here's a cute joke that tells you how people feel
about top-posting (with credits to "Gordon" on apihna):
A: Top posting!
Q: What is the most irritating thing on Usenet?
Another thing that isn't mentioned in that FAQ but should be, is "Please
don't quote the complete message when only part of it is relevant to
your reply -- trim the quoted text down to the relevant part."
These rules apply to all one-to-many communications on the 'net, and are
codified in RFC 1855: Netiquette Guidelines.
