I personally find it offensive how ever persone who deams themselves "experianced" Implementors (or what ever you want to call yourselves) have the gal to go and rip into *every* newbie out there who asks a question. I understand that sometime (okay even a majority fo the time) the same question gets rehashed over and over, but hey that's life. Sometimes that happens. Put honestly people do we have to make people feel like shit to try and get our point across? Ya know a little comman courtesy (you know that thing your mom taught you about sharing your toys and saying please and thank you) might be a nice thing to see here on the list. I could bet that almost every person on this whole list has at one time or another asked a question that the answer could be found in the archives. Has it just recently be added to policy that no one can ask a previously asked question and if they do it is required by all the "experianced" Implementors to flame their asses? COME ONE PEOPLE!! GET A LIFE!! HAVE A HEART!! I'm tired of seeing the flames of "Check the archives. Wanna know where they are look at the bottom of this message, ya dummy." Either get some tact or just SHUT UP! If you really wanted to be helpful (god forbid) how about maybe doing a search for them and sending them the apropriate link or maybe even just a keyword. Why don't you try that for a change. Look, I'm not trying to start a huge debate here or anything and if you haveserious problems with this feel free to e-mail me directly my email (which I will post at the end of this message.) It just really frustrates me to see people rip into newbies (atleast the newbies take the courtesy to say that their post is from them). One last suggestion, If your not going to "have a heart" could you please put [FLAME] into the subject of your message so I can send it where it belongs, IN THE TRASH! -~=Brian=~- tresni@ikickass.org ***MUD with No Name*** http://mud.ikickass.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wanna Get Paid to Surf? http://www.alladvantage.com/home.asp?refid=hok336 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > -----Original Message----- > From: Circle Discussion List [mailto:CIRCLE@post.queensu.ca]On Behalf Of > Bob Kucejko > Sent: Monday, March 20, 2000 4:50 PM > To: CIRCLE@post.queensu.ca > Subject: Re: [CIRCLE] Newbie Compiler Error > > > Well thank you kind sir for your rather complete answer.
