This forum used to be cool. I mean (an maybe it was just me), when I was starting out in vb I needed a lot of help. It seemed people were more than happy to oblidge (sp?). Anyways the minute you think you can help someone out, and someone jumps all over your ass because maybe you left out a piece of syntax, or perhaps your intentions were to just guide them into a direction so they can figure it out. There seems to be a mad rush to become a Guru, no matter who you step on. The problem is, that unfortunately programmers are by nature the most arrogant people on earth, I know I'm one of them.
Whenever my programmer friends and I get together it seems everyone wants to compare their skills to Gods. I retired at 35 from computer programming (last year) now I freelance. The main reason was I found it difficult to work in such a counter productive enviroment where everyone tries to put an "I" in Teamwork.
I find it weary to answer many questions because:
A) They have all been asked ten billion times before
B) When you answer sure as hell someone will look for a mistake and slam you.
C) They pretty much go unapreciated.
