Without documentation, how are you supposed to learn about stuff? Guess? Divine the information from tea leaves? Lazy people don't read documentation, they expect someone to tell them everything. People with a decent work ethic, and a desire to learn conduct research on the problem at hand and read everything they can about said subject. Saying you are just supposed to know and memorize everything is absolutely stupid. I keep dozens of books on hand to use for reference, as well has HUNDREDS of bookmarks to sites with docs on them. If that makes me lazy than so be it. > > -- > Shawn > > The difficult we do today; the impossible take a little longer. > > Ne Obliviscaris -- "Forget Not" > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > -- Ben Lutgens http://us-admins.com/~blutgens/ US Admins, Inc System Administrator / Server Gumby _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
