I just don't understand all the intolerance some of the people on this list show. We're not all as intelligent and wise in the arts of php/mysql/etc as some of the members on this list are. One thing I do know is that we all started from the beginning and had plenty of questions. We all think differently also, which means, just because I look for two hours online for an answer to my question doesnt mean everyone else does. That also means I CAN look for two hours for an answer to my question while Joe Smoe over yonder CAN NOT look for two hours for an answer, so he posts to the list sooner than I do. Does that mean he should be flamed because of it? Nah not in my opinion..
There have also been plenty of times where I have tried everything and I just cant get it to work, so I ask, and when I get the answer back.. I hit myself on the head and think ahhh dumb$#!t I should have know that! What was I thinking! And then there have been times that friends who are much better programmers than I am can't figure something out and I whip something up quickly for them and they hit themselves on the head. We're fallible, the sooner everyone understands that the more tolerance we'll have. Some days are worse than others and hopefully someone will extend to you tolerance on those days. I loved this list when September 11th rolled around, people became tolerant, people became caring, people embraced people on this list. It was amazing.. lots of love going around. I wish I could see that type of caring for others all year long, not just until we forget that the person on the other side of the email is human also and can be offended by our intolerance and verbal assaults. Sure some questions could be solved with a little more research on the php.net site or any other site, but hey give them a break, they'll learn eventually.. hopefully.. :) Direct them to the page their answer is on and it just might introduce them to a new way of learning. Just my two, three, four cents worth.. Where's the love? :) Rick "Work like you don't need the money. Dance like no one is watching.
