All I want to know is why are people here not answering people's questions but causing debates? People need to learn how to program the basics and who cares if it is not the best way to do things.
I see so many new people to programming that ask how to do things and the responce is: Why are you doing it that way? Why don't you do it this way since it is the only way to do it?
I learned JavaScript through trial and error. I began 6 years ago with only knowing very basic things from my TI-85 calc. I spent months learning this and now I am programming for a living.
I learned from my mistakes as time went on, but if I would start today and come here to ask a question I would not return since members here that have been on the board since WA days are becoming very anal.
If you want an example look at this thread...
Yes it is okay to make your point, but make your point and give the person their answer they are looking for. How hard is it to do these things? The world does not learn perfection at the start, it takes time to get there.
No one will have there ages XHTML compliant in the first pass. Heck most new people have no clue what XHTML is so do not go insane if it has a few mistakes. Point them out. Show them tutorials on this. Do not throw a hissy fit and say: "I will not even talk about your page til it gets validated" Why the heck did you even bother to push the reply button if you are not going to help?
Stop wasting people's time with ethical debates and give them a helping hand. Show them the steps, give he what they want and point them in the right direction.
Think I wanted to become a moderator here, but with the way that members act here, I do not think I would want my name to appear on the list. Yes I do not post here like I did on the past, but I have a job and I moderate on a professional board.
