I can say for a fact that when I have 30 emails in my box, about 27 get deleted because of things like: Subject lines with: How do I do races? These subject lines: [code][newbie][races] <rest of subject unseen> And others. I have lots of code, and lots of ideas, but when the list is flooded with crap that is explained in the FAQ, or stuff you could learn with a little bit of self-motivation and desire to learn, as opposed to bugging everyone on the list with the DUMBEST of questions (like gdb says: parse error in line 345, and you cant frigging match up the damn ()'s or check for ;'s), I really have no desire to read half of the stuff on here. Only reason I dont unsubscribe is because occassionally, good stuff DOES come through on here. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
