It is a difficult task to speak with gurus.
Nah, it's not. They are also people... I think.. Actually, I've never
seen proof that they all are, so some may actually be chimps. :)
Anyway, some are standing on such a high pedestal that they feel
everyone is beneath them. I speak from personal experience (yes, I've
been egocentric and ignorant before and yes, I met someone who was
worse.. much worse). But then I guess true wisdom is to know the extent
of one's own ignorance. :)
So just ask. Yeah sometimes you may get a rude response. I've had a few.
So what. Their attitude is their problem, getting your question answered
is yours. They help you with your answer, you help them with their
attitude. You learn through the experience, they don't.
That makes me always nervous.
Don't be. Who are they to judge you? You think they never took the easy
way out and ask a mailing list or forum instead of using google? At
least I will admit I have once or twice. (Oh sorry guys, no I don't
claim to be a guru, sorry sorry, yes yes, you are the masters. Bow, bow,
kneel, kneel ;) )
Sadly, sometimes when I do not find a solution, I ask it here.
Perhaps the reason why you're not finding a solution, is because it
seems to me you have a preference for a non-standard solution (at least
in this occurrence). As a result, you may be searching in the wrong
direction and hence, you're not finding any clear answers. (Unless I
misunderstood something). But I don't fully understand your situation. I
don't know what you've learned so far and what knowledge and experience
you have. So I won't judge.
But, trust me, it is always scared.
I hope that I will not annoy you anymore (but where to ask then).
On the contrary; I found it quite amusing. ;)
Greetz,
Tim.
