I mostly lurk, but just to offer a thought.....this list seems to be
created
to help - not to chastise, so why put conditions on a request for help?
Why try to insure that the person is "worthy" of help?
A signature line on an email said in effect that the best skill a
programmer
can have is to be able to read. I differ. I think that the best skill a
programmer
can have is the ability to LISTEN. More bad programs and bad projects
won't
get done if you have that skill/ability.
Check out Matthew 7:9 and Luke 11:11 and no, I'm not religious but AM
someone who many times asks questions that are incredibly difficult for
me but incredibly easy if you have years of experience. Brain surgery is
easy once you know how.....

True. But you can't seriously mean that we should accept that as a
persistent state instead of calling his attention to it??
or even that he had already read it, failed to understand it
Yes, but considering the wording of the original post, that's highly
unlikely, so the OP couldn't reasonably be offended by a request to make
use of the docs.
The pompous RTFM reply is precisely what Casey was trying to put a
stop to when he initiated this list.
RTFM is often _the_ adequate response to a question. It was in this case
IMO. Trying to put a stop to requests to use the docs sounds just
idiotic to me.
And I wondered if you were really from the Cocos Islands because your
email has a .cc country code.
No, I'm from Sweden. But the .se TLD wasn't available to private persons
when I registered my domain a few years ago.
