Subject: [OT] RE: Good job everybody!
I would like to add thanks for the patience of the people responding to some
very basic questions.
I have been lurking around the list trying to pick out what I needed at the
moment and have been amazed at the replies, both in how quick them come and
how helpful they are.
I am a student and just stating perl, the last two weeks, but I have been
involved with C and C++ for the last year. When I was just starting C++ I
had many questions of course. I always tried to find the answers myself in
the docs or books I had. I can remember I had a simple problem that I could
not find an answer to so I thought I would venture out to a list to ask an
"expert". I knew it was simple and stated my question as such. I didn't even
ask for the answer just to point me in the right direction to find it for
myself.
Well I got flamed so bad you might not believe it. Flames regarding my
intelligence level and that if I could not find the answer on my own I had
no right programming. I couldn't believe it and not a one even tried to
point me in the direction of the information I needed to solve my small
problem.
I have never gone back to that list.
This environment is quite the opposite. Thanks.
Joe
