Hi all,
what is the point of the subject line if no one
follows it. create a forum "anything java" or the like
if you like all that free form approach.
I refuse to help those who do not seem like they are
helping themselves. I tell myself if everyone who
knows and ignores these postings, no such postings
will be encouraged.
On the otherhand, the next best thing to knowing is
knowing where to find it. Rather than getting mad,
make them work a little by pointing them to the right
places but spoon feed the answers. This should be done
off line lest you add to 'nuisance' postings almost as
bad as the original (which of course, this is!).
