I agree it is annoying to see someone ask a question when it doesn't look like they even tried to find the answer on there own. We just have to remember that we have all been in the situation where we new so little about a subject that we didn't even know were to begin to look.
When a beginner posts a question on the forum, it only takes a couple of seconds to read the question. On the other hand if you choose to respond to every under researched question with useless information such as "RTFM" that takes more of your time. As well as more time from everyone else who reads your response. So really by responding with an answer that does not answer anything is adding to the problem. Not really that big of a deal though, just my opinion :o) Regards Mike -----Original Message----- From: Julio Nobrega Trabalhando [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 7:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Backup of MySQL database > I think everyone is aware that there is a mysql manual, obviously if someone > is posting in this forum they have not been able to find what they are > looking for in the manual.

But I could have been harsh and just replied "RTFM", which was the perfect case for this. I don't like to answer simple questions, that the poster didn't look like searched enough for the answer. I am, and I believe you are, busy men. We're here to do the best we can, to help other people, but I believe we also expect others to act at the same level. When I see a message here, makes me wonder that the poster has searched for the answer on his own, has tried, has fought to overcome a problem. A google search, a manual word search, would give the poster the answer quickly than it took for him to type his message. Probaly saving not only the original poster, but everyone who downloaded and read the message, plus who whatever replied. Again, this is one of the oldest wars that can be fought in any newsgroups, but I couldn't not let it pass without brief comments of what is usually expected in such enviroments :-) -- Julio Nobrega.
