We are all different people with different ideas. I'm very well aware that it's not tech support, but sorry, you're being very ignorant about it. You also have to realize that not all documentation is complete (Coding.doc). I personally had no trouble with the coding aspect at all. Jeez, can you get that through your head? Why have the list at all? You should know that there are always going to be new people asking all kinds of questions, especially questions that has already been answered a gazillion times. All I can say is that no one is putting a gun to your head. You don't have to reply to anything you don't want to reply to, nor you even have to be on ths list. Boy I hate to see you at a service oriented job, especially with computers. I can tell you from experience that NO one reads those computer manuals, don't believe me, call any computer company and they will tell you that a lot of people don't read the manuals at all. In fact, some people just buy computers because the have the money to blow away, THINK ABOUT IT! > Why are these concepts so hard to grasp? Or do people here just plain > disagree with the above views? The answer is both and also people are being VERY closed minded about this and I'm sorry, I don't care what happens, you can't be.
