I suppose you are right. I remember when I was working on cars, no one ever told me how to take a spark plug out, so I would break off the tip then dig the rest out with a screwdriver and hammer. I couldn't understand why the other mechanics thought me an idiot. I just never found the need in my life to learn how to use a spark plug wrench I guess, or else they were lousy teachers.
Unless of course... and I hesitate to say it... you want to take the tack that some things are so simple so they don't need to be taught, or that it was my responsibility to ask someone early on in my training, but didn't, and in the long run I really was an idiot. I'm sure by now you are ready to agree. ;-) Bob On May 20, 2011, at 10:34 AM, -=>JB wrote: > In the girls defense it shows either she is self taught and > hasn't found the need in her life to learn that or she has > had eight years of lousy teachers. > > Either way is she the one to blame of should she be > given credit for what she has been able to do for the > last eight years without proper help from others? > > -=>JB<=- > > > On May 20, 2011, at 9:08 AM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > >> Just yesterday a gal who has been using a computer for 8 years called me and >> wanted to know how to get to a web site.
