Hi Mehmet, > 1. I have just become a member today so I don't know who posted what 2 days > ago. and as far as I can see there is no search function on the archives.
True, that's why I didn't answer 'search the archives', like I would on other lists. > 2. I do search the web before asking. I couldn't find something satisfying, > that's why I asked. The wiki did have the answer, maybe you searched but you couldn't find it, or did not know of its existence. In that case, indicate what you tried in order to find the answer yourself (like noticing the archives have no search function). That will make people like me feel to be taken seriously and not used like some helpdesk. Maybe it is not a bad idea to read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html > 3.

I gave you an answer, despite not being paid for it. You can appreciate that and take the other comments for granted, doing with it what you think is right. You can think badly of me and hope for somebody more polite to answer, disregarding what I said, or you can lecture me like you do here and make me think twice before opening a post of yours and answering your question. The fact that you feel insulted by me, suggesting that you would regard us as a 'substitute ...', is a good sign. It gives the feeling that you're willing to learn and find things out for yourself, although in this case you didn't manage. Reflect that in your posts. I've seen to many which boiled down to 'please do my homework for me' or 'make me avoid straining my neurons', and after the years involved in mailing lists like these mails invoking such feelings trigger a response like the one I gave or even worse. Not a personal thing though; I don't even know you. I hope this settles things a bit.
