Now, i will give a bit of time, to disrespectful people too:
here you have people.... the most selfish answer you could ever expect
from a suppossed selfless developer from an (almost) selfless project.
This is a open source project.

My help is to the good people on this list.
Whenever a troll appears is better to get rid of him as soon as
possible.
As far as i know, a Troll is one looking to provoke trouble. (or
something alike)
Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29> says:
In Internet slang <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_slang>, a
*troll* is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic
messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum>, chat room
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat_room>, or blog
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog>, with the primary intent of
provoking other users into a desired emotional
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion> response^[1]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29#cite_note-PCMAG_def-0>
or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.^[2]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29#cite_note-IUKB_def-1>
In addition to the offending poster, the noun "troll" can also refer
to the provocative message itself, as in /that was an excellent
troll you posted/. While the term troll and its associated action,
/trolling/, are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media
attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective,
with /trolling/ being used to describe many intentionally
provocative actions outside of an online context.
OK so, as i was:
1) Suggesting Pritpal to improve the "learnability" of his software.
(magnificent software i may say)
2) Asking for an new answer to an incomplete answer from Massimo.
3) Suggesting in general to take a bit more of time to understand a
question and answer in a bit more complete manner. (as we have almost
all the language issue -not xbase language, motherhood language-)
The only who may be considered a Troll should be that people who
answered intentionally in an inflammatory way, offtopic, provoking
others, and looking for an emotional response instead of trying to help.
¿Could you Angel please read your message/s before continuing?
OK and now answering your first message:
If i'm asking for documentation, saying that i cannot understand the
written code as every programmer has some sort of "own style"
My question to you is the following:
How could you expect someone asking for a manual to learn a matter could
write a manual about that matter prior to learn it?
And as i know you didn't understand i will answer for you, but with a
new question.
Why someone capable of making a manual could be asking for a manual
about that same matter?
Now:
Don't you think this is a bit contradictory?
