I do admire your persistance, but I feel some of the problems you've had could |
| 11 |
have been solved by simply searching the internet. To me using the |
| 12 |
mailinglist for this is just too convenient. I expect a little effort from |
| 13 |
both sides and I've gotten the feeling you don't put much effort in solving |
| 14 |
your problems before consulting the list. |

You are right to say solving problems is a good way to learn. But "how" you |
| 17 |
solve problems is what determines the learning curve. "It's the journey that |
| 18 |
matters, not the destination", not sure who I'm quoting here but you've |
| 19 |
probably heard it somewhere before. Beeing able to determine the cause of the |
| 20 |
problem by yourself is much more usefull then asking us to tell your how to |
| 21 |
fix it. |
