    For the attention of the forum administrator. I have been in the programming industry for 15+ years and I am surprised and shocked by the number of offensive and arrogant updates that pour ridicule on certain members of this forum that ask 'inappropriate' questions aimed at resolving their problem. There seems to be a few contributors that deem themselves way above the learning curve who most likely forget that they once started at the bottom. One of the most important aspects of programming is shared knowledge and without that philosophy none of us would progress at all. To slight and ridicule others who ask questions deemed trivial, is a disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourself and you know who you are. My whole expertise is built on the learning curve, development and experience of others, that's how the whole of information technology was developed. Sharing ideas and the solution to problems is at the heart of IT and to allow a few contributors to use your forum as a kind of arrogant chatroom where naive questions are frowned upon, surely cannot be right. James.

        I've been nuked a few times, do to errors in my answers. The majority of nukes seem to be directed at students who are asking for someone else to give them the answer, insted of presenting an attempted solusion. INTP

          While I can sympathise with your standpoint, I don't know what you referred to and neither the threads and questions. That said, I know from experience that many questions are repeated - displaying the questioner have not even done the basic googling or searching of even CP itself. If the questioner tells up front "I've been trying to find this answer using means x, y and z" it's one thing, but asking a beginners question with an almost obvious proof s/he hasn't even done a google search IMO deserves LARTing. Again, as I don't know what you referred to there might have been something more serious provoking your post, but in my experience post of this kind are provoked by a bystander watching, just for a short while, people who are too lazy to even bother trying to find their own answers before bugging the general public and get flamed for it.
