Ah, the intolerance of it all... I answered this guy because he needed help. I did the research long ago, and put him in the ballpark. Of course, the rest of the knowledge is up to him. By the .signature involved I surmised this was a 'working stiff'. Have a little empathy.
Some here have exhibited 'righteous indignation' towards those who would defile real or imagined standards placed by real or imagined judges. Reminds me of fundamentalist everywhere. How easy it is to generalize real people by the general "they". Who knows? Someday, "they" may be "you". The amount of energy devoted to trite answers and holier-than-thou elitism far outweighs any perceived good. (Hey, I had some fun looking it up again, myself.) Besides, it violates one of the great training principles, "There are no dumb questions!" Keep those card and letters coming! Very best, G. VP OGC ====================previous stuff=============================== You are indeed correct. Posting questions here is a way of finding information on the internet. It's the lazy persons way! Why take an hour or two to look something up on your own when you can post a question here in one minute and have someone else provide the answer? The ability to research a problem and identify possible solultions on ones own is a critical skill for networkers. Do you think a CCIE just posts a question here every time they come across something they are not familiar with? I don't think so! If you want to encourage people to post questions here without doing research, that's up to you but you're not doing them a favor. All you're teaching them is when confronted with a problem... ASK SOMEONE ELSE! ================================================================= > I can be mean sometimes can't I ;-)...
