Survey: Aquired Knowledge vs. Cut and Paste

[EZapps]

Question 1:
Just curious... How many respondants in this room have actual knowledge (learned first hand or gathered by teachers) and how many have "cut-and-paste knowledge" (aquired through some database or another source)?

Not digging on anyone... just cuious.

Question 2: Does it matter?

I would like to think that for the most part, vbforums ppl are self-taught/trained...

script kiddies usually spend most of their time at pscode.com. heh i actually wrote a lil article about the whole copy/paste coding scene on my site a while back. Code by Number...

i started by the copy past programming method, but coz i wanted to do more and different things i had to go asnd learn stuff myself

also i had to do programming as part of my course so i learned it there, and if i don't know anything then all i do is search forums, and the web till i find something that i can change into what i need.
