Well said I should say. If you don't ask, it means you don't want the answer
that bad.
I have been flamed innumerable
times on many lists worldwide for asking dumb questions or not asking
questions properly - or people have been extremely rude even while
giving the correct answers, or hints. But I persist, because I *need*
the answers, and, after all, I am not paying these guys. There was this
guy on IRC - insulted every one with pretty vulgar language, but had all
the answers. I met several deadlines because of him.
I by far is a beginner. Have met similar situations at various situations,
been told to get out of channels, branded as dumb, hopeless and what not?
I will suggest a technique that I follow online, that might help beginners
in such situations. You know the question is dumb/silly, ask it and think
that someone else has asked it, and watch that 'someone' getting bashed, and
be that someone until you get the answer. Once you get your answer, you can
drop that someone from your mind and get back to your work. This will help
yourself by large.
our list is user-friendly - we need to make some of our users
list-friendly.
No one is going to spoon feed anyone, and call you dear in technical mailing
lists, so forget that goody-goody language and get seroius about the problem
you are going to solve, all those *fear* that you say is no way going to
answer your question, but sometimes bashing will get you to results.
to sumup get thickskin.
