I have now ownership on the mission statement and guess that when started everyone was assisted. Time has a way of changing your thoughts and plans doesn't it?
I know that Google is big around my parts and in some areas of the world it may be unknown. I don't think that matters one way or another. If you are expecting us to explain how to search for yourself for the most basic info in technology you may be in the wrong place. Or you may be in the wrong University program. Lastly I am a firm believer of show your work for partial credit. If you just ask Qs here expecting us to do all your work for you I hope you have a thick skin. On the flip side when you state I am having doubt when I try this.. When it gets to .. It fails, I see that you are looking for help not the entire solution. .........................

Certainly, mocking at a person seems to be going beyond the line of ethics. It is not going to invite new users and is surely not making this the "most popular Google group for discussions on Microsoft.NETR and related technologies". It would make newbies nervous and the rest think that this group needs better moderators. I read the welcome message of this group: "Whether you're an Expert consultant, IT Professional, Programmer, Student or simply a Newbie, please feel free to interact with other members, ask questions and share your knowledge" If bitter dirty sarcasm is going to be the common answer, it is better to remove the above statement.

Those people usually provide some working explanation as to where they are in the problem and what is not working. Sometime ago this list URL was thought to be the place to get your homework answers for university. Many of us are trying to help people learn HOW to solve the problem not provide the solution. That is what is expected when you graduate correct? If you don't know about Google then there is probably a similar search site that you would use in your country. Use that, it should get you to what Nortwind was, how to download it, and what it was replaced with. If you don't know what a search engine is and you are in university classes for IT, you are fooling yourself. .........................

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Is it any wrong with some one to ask for a fish in a fish gallery ?? And answer them go for fishing !! If somebody asked a question here it is not mean that they don't know Google. They may want to know what one experienced one want to tell about it. Yes, there are some silly questions about basic language syntax. But the question here had some sense as he have a doubt that if the DB is really needed for the working of the SQL Server,also his mail title tell it, if you r not interested, why open it and make fun of him . As it is a celebrated one his doubt is genuine and he expect some simple answer, i was annoyed to see that none of the first 10 post tell about a single world about it only i found 'jack me' giving ans. Any way i like <http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/> http://letmegooglethatforyou. <http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/> com/.
