I give up

yeah man, i think i started the flame war. "I would never want to work with these losers;" "People who use "u" instead of "you" aren't cool at all. That usually signifies either a lack of command of the English language or that you believe that you're a "1337 HaXoR" and that you know a lot about coding when you are really just a script kiddie." u've got a twisted sense of what "respect" mean. and u can imagine why we are not welcomed, with an american passport, in any other continent on earth. norm
Dude, if you've got a bone to pick, do it on somebody else's time because I don't want to hear your "I'm getting offended over everything" attitude. And no, I'm not saying this because I'm racist or an asshole (I'm not, ask anybody I know) but because I personally have better things to do. You know, this is the first time that somebody has pissed me off on CP. Why am I even replying to this, I should know better.

Religion seems popular, as is political ideology [damn ivory tower elitist liberals | damn short-sighted greedy capitalists]. Or you could go back to the rip on elitist CPians that you started with.

My apologies are fully extended. My opinion was based upon my own experience. Although I just joined the forums today, I have been here quite some time, mostly using the articles as reference materials. All in all, I believe it to be almost 2 months since I started coming here. In those two short months, I have run across an extreme few articles that weren't of any help. Then again, that is just my experience, and doesn't necessarily reflect upon what is really going on. Perhaps after browsing a few more month, I may notice the same trend. If that is the case, then I would agree with him, to an extent. None-the less, thank you for pointing out my error. "Don't tell me I'm smart, I might actually believe you!"

I was kind of upset after I replied to norm's post and then I saw yours and got a little more tweaked than I should have been. Here, as an apology, have a jar of :vegemite:. :-D Oh, this may be a little late...but welcome to CodeProject. And remember, :bob: :love: you. :-D

I think you've missed the point. FWIW I am also self taught and the two books you own were my first two books for learning C++ and Windows programming. I've now been coding for several years as a job and so there's a lot of stuff that gets posted which is of no use to me, as I know it or could have found out as easily from MSDN. However, that is not what is being discussed here. What is being discussed is articles that are of use to no-one because they do not explain anything, they just present a blob of code, or explain something useless, like how to use a third party product which you also need to buy. Nish springs to mind as someone who has written a plethora of articles that I would never have thought of, because if I had, my first reaction would be duh. But that just shows Nish is better able to remember what it was like to be starting out, and I'm glad he writes those articles for the benefit of newbies. He is a good example of someone who I would support because his articles, although often of no use to me, are written well and will help others.

Nish is better able to remember what it was like to be starting out I totally agree, Nish writes really good articles. I haven't came across one yet that I don't like. I will probably use one of his articles as an outline for how to write a good article when I decide to write my first.

"We just do not speak the same form of (and it is USA for both of us) English.

"same form of English"? guys. put down that pretense. and let me repeat again. "u" and "you" has got nothing to do with "cool" or "not cool" - it's a shorthand. i'm lazy to even capitalize. and if u have to make every decision in your friggin life just so u're in the "cool zone"... X| - dont get me wrong, i dont feel sorry for u. and btw, that's a cheap diversion tactic. Quote Brad: "Dont want to work with losers no more" (context: the guy thinks that quality of articles submitted is degrading everyday and being an elite, he feels he has every right to express his disrespect for others) >> Dont get me wrong. I never contributed a single article to the forum. I just cant stand idiot like u who has no respect for other developers - or people. same goes to u and your clowns. norm
