I met several deadlines because of him. I by far is a beginner. Have met similar situations at various situations, been told to get out of channels, branded as dumb, hopeless and what not? I will suggest a technique that I follow online, that might help beginners in such situations. You know the question is dumb/silly, ask it and think that someone else has asked it, and watch that 'someone' getting bashed, and be that someone until you get the answer. Once you get your answer, you can drop that someone from your mind and get back to your work. This will help yourself by large. > our list is user-friendly - we need to make some of our users > list-friendly. > > No one is going to spoon feed anyone, and call you dear in technical mailing lists, so forget that goody-goody language and get seroius about the problem you are going to solve, all those *fear* that you say is no way going to answer your question, but sometimes bashing will get you to results. to sumup get thickskin. -- Regards P.Arunmozhi Twitter: @tecoholic Website: http://arunmozhi.in _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
