He follows the policy of 'teaching to fish' rather than spoonfeeding. I have several times got flamed by him for getting impatient and giving the answer. I would say that he is the single most important person in the channel. He has even taken the trouble of writing a script whereby he can generate almost instantaneous references to the *relevant* docs. It is easy to give direct answers - difficult, irritating and time consuming to 'teach to fish'. Let him be as rude as he wants, as long as he is there. > -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
