Hi _uncle_ Ben, I have nothing against newbies or newbie questions even though I may read questions like which is the best shopping cart, best PHP IDE etc 3+ times in a month, or why register_globals are better off or why "this code does not work" when its just a semicolon missing...although I must say the most frequient seems to be then ones where people write to the list without even trying to do a single word search on google. I too was a newbie and compared to some guys on the list I still most certainly am. But when you write a question that does not get answered the first time round...then retry a bit later is just downright irritating. If the guy wrote some code a bit later on to do his "holiday thing" and hit a wall...I and a crapload of people here will be most willing to lend a hand if he needed help, theres just gotto be a limit. If the guy thought that the first message didnt get through then its cool...but by the 2 in the subject.....COME ON for petes sake. Anyway, you have your view on this so.. Cheers, -Ryan
