Sammy may have been kidding (or not), but based on a couple of the responses
I've received to posts there are other people here who clearly have the above
attitude. I'm still reeling from having been flamed for suggesting that
someone consult K&R to learn the finer points of C programming, and then
seeing the guy who flamed me post a message three days later, asking for help
with a bug in some (obviously poorly-written) code that he had added.
