If people couldn't ask questions on this list, there would be no reason for it's existence. There might be some who object if the question was just asked and answered and they'll tell you to check the group archives, but that's no reason to stop asking your questions. Every person on this group started out as a newbie and it would do some of the older members well to remember that fact as well. So, with all that having been said, fire away! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Wong" <simon.simon...@gmail.com>

I do have friends who hardly will ever try to figure things out on their own 
because they don't have the confidence in themselves, they are afraid of
doing something wrong.
I am not saying there is right or wrong in any of this; I just think those 
that ask should be respected and answered even if we ourselves wish they
would do their own work.
I have done a lot of stuff for people that I think they should be able to do for themselves, yet over and over again when they need help they come to me for it and I think to myself, they need to learn this on their own but if they won't because they are fearful of making a mistake, then I have to help 
them.

Patty, if the information is readily available, why ask the list? Aren't we supposed to be able to do some things on our own or have we all become so lazy that rather than find out ourselves that we must bring it to the list 
because we can't take the time to find out for ourselves?

I was telling a friend about this who was thinking of subscribing to
this  list; and she said if  you're told to do your research all the
time then  what's the point of the list?
I personally don't mind answering questions, no matter how many times
the  question is asked.
Some people are new to this thing, and we don't know who is or isn't.
Or  their level of experience. Patience needs to be exercised on any
email  list,  because we don't know where the person writing in is
coming from.  Just my  humble opinion. And actually if you don't want
to answer that person on  list  write to them privately, which would
take away from the high traffic.

Thanks for your comments, I just happen to find it very irritating
that somewhat intelligent people choose not, even when they have the
information at their fingertips to find the information themselves
rather than ask on such a high-traffic list. This was as a result of
two messages in a row which asked the question of two different app's,
what does it do.

Well, I thought the whole thread was kind of annoying and
condescending myself, and I didn't have the patience to read it. I
doubt many of the targeted audience is going to have the patience to
read such an email let alone follow the tips tucked in it. I also
wonder how much time was spent writing and reading such a message as
opposed to just hitting the delete key when someone asks a question
you can't or don't want to answer. I find the one liners like "What
does

this app do?" or "How much does it cost?"

to be just as annoying as the next guy, but given that Raul, as the
moderator, has already done a good job trying to curb such behavior,
I don't think it's going to change human behavior much, and I think
it's best left to Raul and the moderators.

Maybe my little piece will cause them to think before postting to
the list.

Inquiring minds want to know, what does it do? What does it do???? 
   What does it do??? The answer is simple, in fact it is so simple
   it's a wonder you didn't think of it yourself??? Unlike the
   I-devices, there is a simple yet often-overlooked task which will
   easily bring you the information you crave.
   What is it you say, I can't wait, please, please, tell me.
   Why it's as simple as typing the name of the app in to the space
   marked, very clearly "SEARCH" I repeat "SEARCH", easily found
   Where??? Ah, yet another question and yet one which answer is not
   the commonly used phrase, "Over there", why it is, are you ready
for this, are you sure you are ready? It is after all your waiting 
   to find an answer which has iluded mankind for hmmm maybe 20
   seconds or so, of course, in the app store. See that wasn't so
   difficult, now, here are the directions. Merely double-tap on the
   "app store" Icon on your i-Device, wait for it to open and then,
   then, look down at the bottom of the page which you will come to.
   There are five buttons labeled from left to right: "Featured",
   "top Charts" "genius" "search" and last but not least "updates".
   Now, all you have to do after tapping the "search" item, a new
   screen will appear in which you will be presented with an
   on-screen keyboard, or, you can use an external keyboard, either
   Braille or standard to gain the information you so badly crave.
   Then all you need do is enter the necessary information field
   using voice, keyboard bluetooth or keyboard on the phone and tap
   "search" and voila, the information appears. This feature can be
   used to find hidden apps like tap tap see, four square, or
   perhapse you want to look up 4square. Words like radio or music
   can present you with literally hundreds of functional
applications. Perhapse you long for apps which might be of use to 
   you tomorrow, Saturday, or maybe even next week.
   Be sure to keep this document in case you forget what to do, lets
   again, refresh,
   1. Find app store on your i-device
   2. Double tap to open this item.
   3. find the WORD "SEARCH" near the bottom of the screen,
   double-tap on it at which point you will be presented with an
   on-screen keyboard or you can use an external one if you wish,
   4. Type the name of what you are looking for or something like
   rpg's or text adventures or cooking or games
   5. Again, double-tap the "search" button by using a keyboard to
   input your information your choice and off you go.
   I hope this has been helpful, compared to making use of some of
   the apps available for the iPhone this is truly a very easy task
   to accomplish.
If you still do not feel you understand this task, let me know and 
   I will indeed be glad to put together a podcast and if enough of
   you ask me too, I'll see about putting it up on "applevis", what
   is that, you ask, well, that's for another night. but that's
   another message.
   Later folks.
   Happy searching.
   Fred Olver
   Thanks to Ester and Jonathon for all of your previous posts
   teaching all of us what we need to know, I only hope I have come
   close in presenting the necessary information for those who are
   having difficulty accomplishing this task.
