Well, first, you reference it as Kent's book. Most people come to Tapestry
because a project landed on their laps and they need to get up to speed
quickly. Referencing a book as "Kent's" is somewhat vague.
Second, most of the time we just want quick answers. I know I didnt need the
book, I just needed some help clearing a couple of specific doubts. When
we're looking for a quick answer, referencing the book is the same as saying
"go away". It sends the wrong vibe about the mailing list.
I hate to disagree, but when someone is asking about a significant and
complex piece of functionality which is amply documented elsewhere, I
think it is perfectly legitimate to point them at that documentation,
rather than typing all the documentation into an email. I brought up
Kent's book (which costs money, admittedly) only because I felt that
his coverage of validation was superior to the standard Tap4 docs, and
because you'd already gotten a link to the standard docs, so I wanted
to make sure you knew about both sources. I also included the full
title of the book and mentioned where to find a link to it. I don't
really know how I could have been friendlier about suggesting that you
read the docs before asking questions that are already easily answered
elsewhere. I didn't want to give you a quickie answer for fear that I
would either misinform you due to my own inexperience or that I might
fail to completely answer your question. Much easier to send you to
the source and get it right the first time.
