The point is...if you're wanting to help beginners....be nice....don't jump down their throats....I'd prefer not to have that type of help. Use Charles K. Clarkson, as an example. He said the exact same thing, but said it in a way that it should be said to beginners. I guess I'm taking it upon myself to say this because I don't intend to stay in this group (and may have decided not to this morning, after that message, if I hadn't already decided that)...I've decided to use euphoria instead of perl for what i'm doing. And, i guess i'm thinking that someone needs to protect the "young and innocent". That person that you just jumped down their throat may have been the person who was going to code the greatest software the world has ever seen.....but the way that was handled...they may give up and never try again.
Golden Rule: Do to others, as you would want them to do to you. And while you might argue that you would want people to point out things to correct, if it were you, I'd daresay that you also would want them to do it nicely.
