It would be easier for all (including the beginners) if people with
problems made a decent effort to find out for themselves. There's not
much here that google doesn't already know about.
Sure...but this is the "real world" and we all know that isn't going to
happen no matter how many times it is suggested or how many "read before
posting" notices are set.
So, IMHO, if you are unwilling or unable to provide good advice then it is
best to provide no advice at all.
I prefer to keep trying to educate them; if it keeps your inbox and mine
down, that's good. It won't stop everyone, I don't anticipate otherwise.
If people took a few minutes to google, they'd have their answers before
their questions got an answer, and that would be better for them.
Well, maybe. What happens when the person does the google and then gets
conflicting answers or an answer that conflicts with your answer? I think
we all know that one cannot easily separate the correct from the incorrect
in google response and that there certainly is a ton of bad information out
in the internet world.
As I replied to Sam, then one has a better problem to describe and can
show you, Aaron and a few others I recall from some time ago that they
have, at least, made a decent effort to help themselves.
FWIW, haven't you ever been a newbie?
yes, Ed. I said so. I also described how I learned to feed myself.
Don't open a soup kitchen. :-)
My waist says I eat too well!
