I do consider the "do my homework" emails to be noise, especially the ones
where they have obviously copied and pasted the assignment verbatim. That's
just wrong.

I don't mind at all when somebody posts his/her code and asks for help. I've
been there, lost and forlorn and no idea what to do next, and now it's my
turn to give a helping hand when I can. But only to people who deserve it by
making an effort themselves.

I do think mikmoken2003 needs to be moderated, too. I just sent him a "Cease
and desist" order, off-list.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
