Thanks to this group, at least in SOME cases, you can
ask mere mortals if they know the answer to your simpliest
problme of all, and, if you are lucky enough, and they
are in the mood of doing so, they'll give you some
scetchy answer, that is nothing more than a hint,
and you'd have to go back to your puter and sweat it
out to full extent. Kinda sadomasochistict trip.

If you don't like the help here, you could demand back the money you paid for it...

And what CAN you expect from those people?

Once people get over their self-entitlement trip (the one that have such a thing), people often find help. More so if they're willing learn a bit about the group and follow some suggestions.

Not only that, but you will be insulted and rediculed,
told that in Java, the names of routines MUST be in
lower case, even though Sun itself has some things
that start in upper case and some don't.

Now, what WHAT specific REASON do you have to make
all the method names in lower case?
Does it make your code MORE readable?
- Nope, just the other way around.


Does it prevent your compiler to compile this thing?
- Not even in the picture.

Does it make MORE clear what are you trying to do?
- Are you kidding?

So...

What IS that dictate good for?

It's called convention. Following a widely held convention aids quick understanding of something (by most people).

Just read this very group.
You'd be amazed if you are new to java.

Those poor "clueless", when they are in just about the
biggest problem they can imagine at the moment,
instead of getting assistance,
get a brainwashing dictates on what you MUST do!

Helping people to make themselves more understandable isn't a bad thing. And quite a few people do get help here (of the sort you're mainly thinking of).

You see?

MUST!

And unless you do so, you are considered of an
"inferior race"!
Nothing more.
Nothing less...

And here, you may not even get a reply on your
question, just because you show these people
some piece of code that does not fit THEY view
on Universe and a life force as such.

Get over your sense of entitlement. People help here for nothing. They don't get paid. The least they are entitled to is to decide what *sort* of advice they give, and who they reply to.
And telling people why they're not having much success getting replies counts as helping them.

Wake up, people.

WHAT are you doing here on the first place?
Why do you even bother to answer questions?
You see, if I am an expert, built according to YOUR
templates, I don't need your help. I can teach YOU,

You think there is only one sort of problem? There are many sorts of problems possible. There are many ways code can be 'broken'.


and teach you using REASON, and not some dictates
as to how the planet Earth is to turn and where
is the Sun to rise in the morning.

Reason tells us that following convention aids understanding.

Is it clear enough?

I spent DAYS and still can not figure out what is the
problem on the first place. Just try to push the help
button. First of all, it'll eat up a terabyte of memory
and you'd be sitting there mezmerized, waithing for it
to stop swapping like mad and load all the stuff,
that is the simpliest thing in the world, just to
display a single help screen, which shouldn't take
more than a few milliseconds nowadays.

Just a little comment in the middle of that rant for you.... carry on!
