Sorry Frank if I did sound a little bit mean, it wasn't my intention. I
just assumed that you don't know the language because you posted one line
of code that makes use of two Javascript variables and an error that tells
you there is one of them that is not defined and as a result your subject
was: "mongodb is so confusing!".
As you may know from others already:
- your variable user is not defined
- mongo is running fine
- mongo has nothing to do with a Javascript variable being undefined
- you can check out in github some libraries for using mongodb from node
that will help you get along with it
- my virginity is a private variable
