No problem, that's what newsgroups are for.  But it would be better if
you ask each question with a new message with specific subject.  In
general I don't have time to read through a "noob needs help" thread to
pick out the questions I can answer, but I'm happy to help otherwise.

That's what ~/.authinfo is for.  Here's mine:
