Neither benefits the community you belong to and both detract from the
gainful contributions of others in time and resources.
That said your question was a reasonable one for this list imo. Some
folks even after reading api and docs ask much worse. Welcome to
drupal. Respect others time and we'll respect yours. ;)

Thanks,
Reading the docs makes little sense without real examples. Only when I
understand how it works can I find relevance in the docs. I am not
asking everyone to work this way but it is the way I work and I have
found I make progress using this approach. Google is your friend. I am
happy to share my knowledge without first asking if someone has read the
manual back to back or for that matter even opened it. The aim, for me,
is to get people to contribution and to make progress. I quick google of
bibble_235 drupal will show I also contribute as well.
