Ha... It seems you were on holidays in the last week.

depends completely on personal preferences. When providing an answer,
should you give the most simple solution or the most advanced solution,
sometimes both, that is a decision that people make when they answer
questions.

I think that both solutions should be posted.
When I first started programming I used to refer to Planet Source Code.
is that on PSC you will find a million and 1 examples saying how to do the
same thing, all with unique styles. I hunt for a while until I find an

Most of the samples on PSC are buggy/ugly, but there are some "best
practice" samples too.
Believe it or not, even you apply your own personal preferences when you
answer questions Herfried, even you.

I never said anything else.
Anyways, that is enough of this thread for me, Pastrim Leader signing out!

OK, let's answer the other questions.

Why should I do that? There may be no solution to the problem or the OP
doesn't know the right words to look for.

This is getting silly isn't it? You wrote (I see the quote) that lots of
people don't know they can use Google.

Some of us believe that teaching a man to fish is at least "as good" as
giving a man a fish.

Wow... you are cool.
A change of tactics? It won't work Herfried. I don't think I'm cool I
posted a simple fact.
I learned VB.NET with the MSDN documentation. It worked. If it doesn't
help _you_, you cannot imply that everybody has a problem understanding
MSDN pages.

Wow... you are cool.

Cor,
Herfried is not from Germany.

FFS!

The second I say something that is not correct, someone has to jump on it.
I did not know that Herfried was not from Germany, okay?
Not everybody who speaks English is from England, that is the same with the
German language.

Yes you are correct, what is your point? I *presumed* Herfried was from
Germany as he speaks German, that is all, it is a pretty normal presumption
to make do you not think Cor? Just the same that you would *presume* that I
am either English or American.

Pardon me for making a presumption! Can I beg for your forgiveness?

Nick.

I got fed up with programming because it's such a
hamster wheel. I'm glad I'm back, but its still a lot
of running just to stay where you are!

Herfried,

No it isn't!

And no, this discussion does not stop on your say so!

How about you rephrase that to,

"But let me stop taking part in the discussion at this point..."

Herfried,
What does "FFS" mean?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=for+****'s+sake

I used Google, maybe you could do this in the future?
You don't need to apologize.

I wasn't, I was being sarcastic.

Herfried,
I won't take part in a flamewar.

Is that because your preference is to instigate and then run away?

LOL. I was not sure if the term "psychoanalyze" is valid English. In
German we use "psychoanalysieren". In German, there is no similar word
to "dopey".

Probably not but if you can find and read the MSDN documentation surely you
can find an on-line dictionary. Or do I have that wrong also?
If I am looking for a solution for a technical problem, I don't
need/want human interaction. I want a solution. People who want
interaction should look for friends or a chatroom.

I'm sorry to explain it once again but you are mistaken. It is only a
sub-type of "technical problem" that doesn't require clarification. You can
witness it in this newsgroup where people post a technical question but in
fact are approaching the problem in a poor way. Conversation aids in
finding the proper solution.

For gosh sake you claimed in another message to interact with your users.
Do you point them to MSDN pages too? More importantly do they point you to
printed documentation when you ask them a question about their problem
domain?
 
Hi Tom,
Some of us believe that teaching a man to fish is at least "as good" as
giving a man a fish.

But that depends if you are hungry.

Some thinks that giving bread to those that have every year problems with
food is at least "as good" as helping them to overcome that problem.

Others let them die because they do not want to learn how to do that.

It has been adapted for the 21st century Internet "we're here to argue"
audience:

Some of us believe that teaching a man to fish is at least "as good" as
giving a man a fish (unless that man is starving in which case you should
give him a fish while you teach him to fish but perhaps not if it is your
last fish since if you are dead you won't be able to teach him to fish.)

Nick,

The first time I was thinking you was from the USA and Herfried from
Germany.

I did make the same mistakes, I was just warning you, but had some fun about
it because you are talking about .
