That may cause confusion. I think each new topic needs it's own unique subject
line.

It would be helpful if Mike could post his questions to a single thread/subject
instead of starting a new topic for every new question. That way people who do
not wish to follow can simply mute the thread instead of trying to filter by
sender.

Those are really good points Enrique.
An important step in the learning process is go from watching to doing. May I
recommend that Michael *try* researching, then post his question along with
what he has found and why he thinks his results are not his answer, or does not
understand the results?
We all got started somewhere, so I respect the questions, I myself ask
questions as well. I also respect the group enough to at least try to find the
answer on my own.
My 2 cents,
Eric

Hello List:
I am very well aware that Michael sometimes don't pose the most challenging
questions and sometimes shows a total lack of previous research.
I am also *VERY* well aware of how hard Michael is trying to learn and better
himself.
As a lifelong teacher (even though I don't make a living as one), I have found
over the years people that go after knowledge and people that wait for
knowledge to be brought to them.
I have found people that picks up new ideas like sponges and people that seem
to have a wall for learning.
That is valid for anything that I have taught semi-professionally, which spans
from hang-gliding to computer science, snowboarding and pilot training.
This is what I have found about Michael:
1.- Michael *IS* going after knowledge.
2.- Michael *HAS* difficulties to acquire knowledge.
I believe, as some people has expressed here, that Michael is a valuable member
here because he represents the kind of people that needs the most help. I also
believe that nobody here should be judging Mike for his ability (or lack of) to
gain knowledge.
I agree that you are free to block Mike if you wish, but I disagree with anyone
publicly stating 'Mike is so dumb that we should kick him out' because that
express and undeserved and ignorant judgement and narrows the limits of those
willing to participate in this list.
I don't block Mike, although I don't always answer.
And I have the utmost respect for him.
Mike, please don't leave this list.
