Why is this thread sticky??? It's hardly worth a front page or even the bit that surrounds the girl on page 3...

**cafeenman** · Aug 21st, 2002, 03:54 AM

I don't know, but I read parts of it and if I put what I had to say in it I would be flamed right out of there.

Basically it goes like this:

How to learn VB the EASY way.

Easy step 1: Learn how to program
Easy step 2: Learn how to create a flow chart
Easy step 3: Learn all the syntax of VB (all 20,000 keywords - no sweat)
Easy step 4: Write award winning programs by the end of your first Easy week.

Anyway, I think it's the first time I actually didn't respond to a thread that I think is total nonsense and poor advice for beginning programmers.

Not so much as poor advice, but totally misrepresented. There is no Easy way to learn VB.

Maybe, but there's no hard way, either.

Yeah that about summarises what I thought when i read it... (ps u are good at summaries and lists

) ... It got locked before I could say something about it. I had nothing witty or anything .. I was more planning to make it up as I went along... a bit like this post

**cafeenman** · Aug 21st, 2002, 04:01 AM

I put that in for my search on Monster.com and didn't come up with much. I guess no one needs Summarizing List experts.

Im glad it's finally locked, ppl just ended up blabbering, it's all logical, if your working by yourself your way works best, otherwise co-operate and alls good

Uh-oh - looks like Bum's trying to do a Jamie on CafeenMan.

If it doesn't give you friction burns on your inner thighs, Caff, I'd recommend running like hell.

I'm not sure what you mean by cooperate. You mean if we cooperate nothing bad will happen to us?

What bugged me about it was the cavalier way the first post was written and then everyone jumping on the bandwagon and no one calling the guy on the fact that everything he said needed to be done pretty much defined something that is the opposite of easy to learn.

I just decided to exercise restraint for a change. Not exactly my character, but I'm glad I did it.

**beachbum** · Aug 21st, 2002, 04:09 AM

Re your restraint...

and then I went and ruined it all for you eh? ps ID don't tell Bonker that I was playing the field while he was out to lunch

**cafeenman** · Aug 21st, 2002, 04:11 AM

ID's comment went totally over my head. Probably because I was squatting at the time. I understood the thigh rash part which was simple, but the rest of it was too complicated for me.

Actually, I'm glad you started this post so I could vent it. Just because I was showing restraint, doesn't mean I was happy about it.

Now everything is ok again because of this opportunity you have afforded me. For that I am in your debt until I post this.

ps the pic was for the sticky thread and was not making any comments on the character of any person or relatives thereof associated with this thread or other related threads

**cafeenman** · Aug 21st, 2002, 04:16 AM

OK, that's scary, but you might have to explain it all to me really clearly using words and no vague references and no pictures of Richard either.

**plenderj** · Aug 21st, 2002, 04:18 AM

My tutorials thread was sticky for ages.
Then martin unstickified it for some reason.

That thread is just a disgrace...

**beachbum** · Aug 21st, 2002, 04:20 AM

He was the first person I thought of when I read the original thread... it is either a relevant image or says something about my childhood

**cafeenman** · Aug 21st, 2002, 04:20 AM

I think what BB is trying to say is that Jamie and the guy who started the VB is easy thread are homosexual aerobics guys. At least that's the message it conveys to me.

Well you know what they (ie. I ) say, "a hole's a hole".

At least tell me you're the fat guy and not Richard.

Well that would be Jennifer Lopez, but she wasn't in the picture.

You clearly have a thing about huge arses.
