How do you know a good soccer player when you see one? If you are a good scout, just by his body language. Just by seeing him how he walks and positions himself on a field. By the time he touches the ball, he is either eliminated from my list of prospects or he is marked as "good to be considered".
How do you know a good technical person when you see one? Because irrespective of wherever he/she is from, regardless of his language, social status, and even upbringing, he KNOWS WHAT GOOGLE IS. The desire to investigate, research, and READ must be born with him the same day he is born. There is a saying that goes "you can't tech a man anything, you can only help him find himself". In this case, this man has been attentively helped, and his questions have been duly answered more than once in this forum. He has been told in no uncertain terms to SEARCH IN GOOGLE... That is the answer, based in the fact that he will find plenty of solutions to HIS particular question within 1 minute. He doesn't listen. And listening is not a cultural constrain (perhaps if we call him "little grasshopper" will he be more attentive?). To me, he doesn't have it. I have friends who ask me all the time to teach them programming and I ignore them. Inside I know that they don't have it because a real programmer never asks another to teach him to program, therefore I would save myself the time. But maybe I am wrong, maybe this guy will learn from what we are trying to tell him... I hope.

Yes, and they shouldn't. Its called etiquette. > Be charitable and kind. Have a nice day. I always am. Here, have a free hug, *hug* I find that helps when I'm feeling grumpy.
