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
