IMO if you had acted professionally and maturely yourself you would have searched out the answer and asked about the points you didn't understand rather than expected to be spoonfed."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

You were newbie contractors once, and probably asked a lot of questions that probably appear stupid to the more intiated amongst us.
It's really not fair to ridicule them, or put them dow, as if they're complete ignorant numpties that should know better than to grace this forum with 'their daft offerings.' A lot of people may well be put off by joining this forum or asking highly relevant questions for their own circumstances.
By all means make some reference for standard answers, if they can help, but just remember that newbie insecurities will inevitably elicit a feeling of extra caution about what they see is a scary leap into the dark and so they would rather ensure answers are up to date and relevant to their own particular concerns by asking them again and getting tailored answers. That's normal human behaviour not the outpourings of a numpty.
So be nice guys!
And you expect a mature and sensible response from this lot.
Just send the newbies to tpd where we nice people hang out.Confusion is a natural state of beingComment

It is unfortunate that for some on here, expecting maturity and professionalism from them is less likely that successfully training a cat to become prinicipal ballerina in Swan Lake.Last edited by Denny; 17 February 2008, 15:58.Comment
