I just want to support the view of Daniel. I wish the Albert Einstein's of the
list would just ignore those questions that are unworthy of their superior
intellect. The most irritating posts I see are the ones that scold people for
asking questions 'they' don't think are appropriate. Let the list moderator do
his job. If he thinks that something needs to be said then let him say it. As
I've said before, it is a small collection of people who seem to have a problem
with elementary questions. Most don't seem to mind.

Subject: Re: Why the people are so rude ?
ok, I really hate myself for escalating this, but how do you tell if someone
did look hard for stuff and just didn't find it? And does your boss let you go
out to the bookstore whenever you're unsure of something? Or will he buy every
book written on Java for you? I know mine won't. And how long is long enough to
look? I just posted a question about detecting if Javascript was turned on in a
browser thatI've spent days trying to figure out in java servlets, jsp, and
php... for all I know it could be in "O'reily's book of browser programming" or
something else I never heard of and I just didn't come accross it.
Anyway, point is that it's hard to say wether someone has really put in time or
not and, since unneeded messages are so unwelcome here (as I was so vehemently
assured of when I asked a perl question), perhaps it would be a better course
of action for the simplest of questions of simply be ignored. That way they'll
get the hint and at the sametime, noone has to wade through flames.
Just an idea. Oh, and if someone abuses the list with too many poor questions,
I'm guessing we can count on the moderator to take care of it, since,
ultimately, there's nothing we can do to the poster except yell at him.
ok, I'm done now...
