Ø  You couldn't afford a contract with me.

 

And you know this how?

 

Ø  Really?  Seriously?  You just proved in this very thread that you _don't_ 
read the docs

 

Wrong answer…I had two windows open to the docs and two on Google searching 
blogs for

explanations.  I usually do search and write test code, and if it doesn’t work 
out or

at least move me in the right direction, then I ask for clarification.  You 
can’t possibly

know as much as you assume.  And your assumptions are the problem.

 

Ø  Right.  That's the point.  Your first step in solving a problem is to ask 
yourself, "Self, which
list should I ask this question to?".  Instead actually _trying_ code, you'd 
rather type an email,
and wait an hour or two for someone else to do your work for you rather than 
actually learning how
to do it yourself.

 

See the answer above.

 

Ø  No worries there.  I'm an asshole. 

 

You said it, not me.  But do me a favor, really…if you’re not going to help 
with problems,

but complain about how I interact with the list, please create a rule in your 
mail reader

that auto-deletes mail that includes my name or address in the “from” field.  
If you need

help with that, just ask MorningZ…but you better read the docs on it first.  ;o)

If you are sick and tired of helping me, then don't.

I don't remember having any contract with you.



You couldn't afford a contract with me.



 And, fyi, I do help myself…I do read the docs and search

for blogs, tutorials etc.  


Really?  Seriously?  You just proved in this very thread that you _don't_ read 
the docs.  

But it's much quicker to just ask

a question if I'm not sure where to look for an answer.

 Again, when you see my name on a post, if you don't want to

help, please don't.


No worries there.  I'm an asshole.  I refuse to help those who are too lazy to 
help themselves.  And
no, searching google for copy/paste code is not helping yourself.
