My point is that if you are not going to be nice about your response, and you wish to respond in that manner, then either don't respond or respond privately. I wasn't following the thread nor do I remember any of the posts Erik has made, but if you were to look at Brian's posting, that would give the impression that this is an unfriendly list and might scare away newbies that would other gain a lot of knowledge from the guru's here. That has nothing to do with how much one has contributed to the community or not but rather how this list appears to a new person. Whether it was warranted or not, I thought Brian's response was very rude. I do appreciate Brain's contributions and I have learned a lot from his posts, but that doesn't excuse being rude to someone asking a question in a professional community. If this wasn't a professional community I would say fire up the flame throwers...I enjoy a good argument as much as the next guy, but this just isn't an appropriate place for it. We also don't know whatever resources he access to as far as books or what his level of proficiency is. When we first got started, I bet many of us asked the same questions in our effort to learn.
