No wonder there is so much war. Mostly started by people who know how to

self sufficient.

So, if everyone was self-sufficient there would be no war? Cool...

Maybe you should read the link, then _maybe_ you'll understand.
Would you feel better if I posted links to the archives and/or to Google 
to where numerous answers could be found to this question?  Or maybe the 
OP could have just gone to the link I posted and seen those two 
suggestions in the 'Before You Ask' section.

I'm an atheist...I don't believe in 'God' complexes.
So I teach the OP to be self sufficient, and how to get a better 
response, and you hold his hand, answering the same question that has 
been answered numerous times over on this list.  If you sleep better at

2004-12-21 Thread Matthew Sims

I promised myself that I wouldn't get in the middle of any flame wars but
I just had to say something about my experience.

The day I stopped looking for free handouts and became self-sufficient in
my ability to find the answers myself was the day someone told me to RTFM
a few years ago. It was a friend of mine and it was a little hurtful. But
he was right! The answer was right in the man page.

Then I felt stupid for asking.

Since then my skills at troubleshooting went through the roof. You can
literally train yourself to be a walking encyclopedia not by knowing the
answer but by knowing how to find the answer without anyones help.

Sometimes it takes a mean push to get someone on the right track. You
might not like it but you can't deny the results it can bring.

Agreed 100%.  Heck I'm an accountant, not even a computer programmer, 
and even I can help people out now because of a RTFM comment I received 
a long time ago ;)

People need to learn how to help themselves.  When it's clear that a 
person just doesn't understand some concept yet has put effort into 
understanding their problem then I push them to the area of the manual 
that will explain it to them.  The manual is there for a very good 
reason and it is an excellent reference tool.

2004-12-21 Thread Larry E . Ullman
While Yes may be a technically accurate answer to a question like 
Can I ... or Can anyone ..., a couple of points must be 
acknowledged:

1) Such an answer doesn't help the original poster. Period. And the 
purpose of a resource like this is to help, right? Even a RTFM or 
search Google at least gives the user __something__ to work with (and 
the lesson there being that if they read the manual or search Google, 
they'll quickly find answers). If your argument for answering Yes is 
that you're teaching the user to ask questions the smart way, then why 
not answer their intended question AND refer them to the smart 
questions page? Do you honestly think people are learning __anything__ 
when you reply with a Yes? Moreover...

2) It's commonplace in human discourse to attempt to address the 
*intent* of a person's question rather than the literal question 
itself. If you were helping a friend re-shingle a roof and they said 
Can you hand me that hammer?, hopefully you would actually hand them 
the hammer, not say Yes. They are many colloquialisms in 
languages--like when someone says What's up?--and it's just obstinate 
not to recognize them as such and respond accordingly.

Finally, if you don't agree that Yes isn't helpful and that it's an 
inappropriate answer anyway, how about this: such emails are a waste of 
resources. It's a waste of the time (.1 nanoseconds or whatever) it 
took you to write. It's a waste of bandwidth (at a few bits a pop). 
It's a waste of everyone's time in reading and deleting such emails 
(another second). And it tends to start a sequence of even longer, off 
topic threads such as this one.

So, seriously, if you don't feel like helping or you don't believe that 
a message should be posted here because it's off topic or you don't 
believe that a question was phrased properly, wouldn't it be better for 
everyone if you just didn't respond? It'd certainly be easier.

Oy vay!

hand me that hammer?, hopefully you would actually hand them the 
hammer, not say Yes. They are many colloquialisms in languages--like 
when someone says What's up?--and it's just obstinate not to recognize 
them as such and respond accordingly.

Finally, if you don't agree that Yes isn't helpful and that it's an 
inappropriate answer anyway, how about this: such emails are a waste of 
resources. It's a waste of the time (.1 nanoseconds or whatever) it took 
you to write. It's a waste of bandwidth (at a few bits a pop). It's a 
waste of everyone's time in reading and deleting such emails (another 
second). And it tends to start a sequence of even longer, off topic 
threads such as this one.
Kind of like it's a waste of time to psycho analyze members of php 
mailing list...not that it's off topic or anything.

So, seriously, if you don't feel like helping or you don't believe that 
a message should be posted here because it's off topic or you don't 
believe that a question was phrased properly, wouldn't it be better for 
everyone if you just didn't respond? It'd certainly be easier.
Kind of like it would be better if others didn't fan the flames with 
posts on how the bad people shouldn't be mean.

Oy vay!
Indeed.
Sorry Jay, guess I've lost Christmas points. ;)

I can agree with you up until here.  If someone is consistently posting 
off-topic then it would be in the group's interest to keep them from 
posting those things, e.g. $$$ MAKE MONEY FAST!!! $$$ or Cheep \/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Teach a person to fish ...
That's a good and true adage and certainly a philosophy to be put forth 
by this list. But, the question is, does an answer of Yes teach a 
person anything? I truly suspect not. Whereas Yes, here's how, and by 
the way you should read this page about how to ask smart questions. 
teaches a person quite a bit.

... but not for this reason. You're describing spam. One should never respond 
to spam. The originator of the spam is not going to be reading your response.

The real reason is that, for example, some person posted an OT question, if 
everyone followed the above advice and just ignored that post, the most 
likely result would be that the same OT question would get reposted, again, 
and again, until someone blinks and tells that person that their post was OT 
and was therefore ignored. Now I know I would rather be told if I was doing 
something wrong (and hopefully learn from that) rather than to be sent to 
Coventry.

I can't believe you can spend so much energy on this flame/agrovated

this guys question.

No wonder there is so much war. Mostly started by people who know how to be
self sufficient. Don't worry. In 100 years we will all be dead, maybe the
next generation will actually learn something John.

Maybe you should read the link, then _maybe_ you'll understand.
Would you feel better if I posted links to the archives and/or to Google 
to where numerous answers could be found to this question?  Or maybe the 
OP could have just gone to the link I posted and seen those two 
suggestions in the 'Before You Ask' section.

Then again, what was I thinking...people think for themselves?  How
