All I can say is: bollocks. There are outstanding manuals available to everyone with a web browser or a CD drive. They get shipped with the product. I'll answer any question that shows that some effort has gone into the matter beforehand. I will even look into questions where it isn't obvious in the manual. But how to stick data into a database is something it's reasonable to expect is in a book somewhere. >P.S. >." ...and he is like the dragon which flies up in the sky where >no arrow can touch it ..." (Confucius about Tao - approx.) >Don't tell me that this didn't raise your ego ... ;-) Bollocks to that too. I prefer the one about "...soaring with eagles, but at least weasels don't get sucked into jet engines..." :-) And there's plenty of proof around that I'm fallible and occasionally need to RTFM (or something) too. But that one was just stupid. >Obnoxio The Clown wrote: > > > From: Radu Dumitriu <radu@goldenclick.com> > > > > > >Don't be too rough on him@edu, he's learning (otherwise he wouldn't be > > >asking > > >that question ...). > > > > A good place to start learning is RTFM.
