>From what I have read about open source
projects flaming newbies is the norm. Let's get real folks, it is not
necessary to continually flame someone asking for help. I think that
is why there is so little traffic on #opensl. Why ask when your
direct question will go to your motive for asking such a question in
the first place. For instance you shouldn't be in that part of the
code as you don't have enough experience. I ask, why not? The viewers
we help provide are for users enjoyment of a role play game. There are not 
being deployed into an industrial plant control system with triple redundant 
code
and hardware. To get experience digging into the unfamiliar and trying
to figure things out is a necessary step. At times it is nice to be
able to ask more experienced programmers for advice. If given freely
and correctly that can only help the whole viewer developer
community. One developer recently said he deliberately gave wrong
information so that the person would spend a couple of days sorting
out what was wrong. Is that helping our community of developers in any
way? Please lets do away with Nazi persecution of those with less
knowledge. Granted, there are no night stick bearing thugs breaking
knees. It is much more insidious than that. In my opinion, putting
someone down outwardly usually comes from a person who is inwardly
very insecure.
