I was going to post something similar. Newbies exist who don't understand what is going on That's life. A common thing we see in the Access newsgroups, who have a lot of newbies compared to the VB6 newsgroups, are people who know what they want to do but don't know the terminology to start searching for it. Furthermore it's very difficult now for folks to do decent searching in Google to focus on good set of forums/newsgroups. Tony

I have, and I did. But you know what I learned? Do a little research and use the common sense you were born with (I realize for 99.9% of the world's population, that's a stretch). Example, in January I moved into a house whose bathroom needed a serious remodeling. Never having worked with powertools, plumbing, wood, etc I learned everything I needed to know through research and some basic trial and error. If I had questions, I asked my step dad using very specific language, examples and knowledge gained through that research...and not the dopey "it don't work" statements I am plauged with on a daily basis. It takes a real rocket scientist to know that the two terms "eternal-september" and "support" has nothing to do with computer support. The big red flag of course the lack of the word "computer". I mean, c'mon. Dee had it right, Eternal September lives on. And FTR, I'm not the only one who picks on the incompetence of Joe Luser...wo why are ya singling me out? Not that I really give a damn about your personal opinion of me...I just find it a little convenient you want to tangle with me in particular.

| Yeah, that's what I thought. Hit and run. Man up next time, or keep it to | yourself. I'm not interested in "tangling" with you. That was my point. Is there really any good reason to always come out swinging? Is there something to win? You were right that we can all easily fall into being mean-spirited. And it serves no one. That's all. |
