Hi there, My name isn't Jamie, and I already have a reputation (probably) for speaking out on this list, so I'll do it once more and maybe the moderator will choose to throw me off! <SMILE>
Whilst I appreciate where you're coming from with regard to people reading manuals for themselves, Jamie has been very kind in giving a straightforward answer to what is not necessarily too straightforward from the manual. (We all probably acknowledged the manual was not written as well as we would have liked it to be.) There are many good folk around like Jamie who help on lists. The kinds of people they help are sometimes those who just come to grab what they can and go, and there are others who never help anyone else, that is true! However, there is another group which includes those who find it very difficult to absorb manuals and whose learning ability, perhaps, is below most on the group, but still they want to get the best out of their equipment. Don't they deserve help? Then there's poor little me! I would have been typical in years gone by of those who were well ahead in access technology issues and needed little help, but some occasionally. There were days though when I'd been hard at work and just needed some information and was either too tired or unable to find what I needed at the time. I was always thankful for the help given on such occasions. Now I, like others, have health problems which mean that I have to take lots of medication which dulls my ability to concentrate and sometimes I'm glad I don't have to remember too much detail of what's gone on in various conversations during the day because I probably couldn't recall it accurately enough. Now, even if I don't deserve the help after this message, perhaps others with similar problems do warrant consideration. Remember, you don't know everyone's circumstances, just as we don't know yours - so lighten up, give everyone a chance by helping where and when you can and we may all get there! Finally, if the list doesn't exist to meet the needs of the one who asks the beginners' questions as well as those who talk about the advanced stuff that some beginners don't have a clue about, then maybe some of us need to get off the list and get some other kind of "life"! -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: J Garcia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 September 2004 19:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cutting a section and pasting it somewhere else in a recording Jaimie, While I appreciate your gentle words, by answering simple questions you are conditioning people to repeat their actions in the future and as a result they will post more and more questions to easily resolved issues. This means they will continue to do the same thing in the future and people like you will take an hour of their lives to answer someone's question who was too lazy to take 10 minutes to look it up themselves. Whether you are aware of it or not they benefit and you lose. If this person actually made an attempt to look up a solution they not only would learn the process themselves making it faster the next time, but they will also learn many other things in their search for an answer. I've seen many people like this send the same question to up to 10 different lists because they know the more people they contact the higher the likelihood of the response. Like my learning theory professor tells his classes: "I will not reinforce laziness." I don't think many of the knowledgeable people on this list should support this behavior either.
