Hi,

look I didn't want to offend anyone, and I never said you should check
with
me before posting.
All I wanted to say: is that for beginning programmers it shouldn't be a
habbit to immediately post a problem if they can't solve it in 2 minutes.
And I know most of the people here first try to solve/research the
problem
themself, and if they realy can't find a answer, they post a question.
That's what they call a learning process. And in my opnion that's the best
way to learn something new.
But every now and then you see some posts with topics from which you know
that if the OP would have taken the time to google this ng for 1 minute he
would have found the answer. And in my opinion the ng doesn't benefit from
these kind of posts.
So I hope my point is clear now, I sure as hell don't want to discourage
anyone from posting a question.
I also wonder why you think I'm unhappy with the ng? I think it's the best
place for information/help on vb.net
The only thing I meant to do was give some advice to beginning
programmers,
because I know this approach helped me a lot when learning vb.net.

Are you guys gonna chat on topic? Take this material to
vbdotnet.trashtalk
I don't remember reading anything about checking with peter , google, and
the rest for
permission to post. If you are unhappy, go somewhere else. Its
attitudes
like you've
expressed that kill net activity.

Peter, you've been put on my delete list.

Hi, I have to agree with GhostInAK, I'm seeing more and more post with
subjects that If you google them for 15 seconds you will see that they
haven
been asked and answered 20 times before. I would also advice first try
to
find a solution yourself, because you'll learn more by searching in
answer
yourself. That's how I always did it, first try to figure/google it out
yourself and then if you realy can't find a answer ask an expert here
in
the
ng. I'm not discouraging anyone to post here, because we were all
newbies
ones, but you'll learn a lot more be searching for an answer yourself
then
from an instant answer.
I know I haven't been very active in here for the pas few months but I
still
watch the topics every day.

Just my two cents

Greetz Peter

I'm seeing a terribly distubing number of questions that have no
purpose
in existing. As an example: How do I change the position of a stream?

Hmm.. Could it be some method on the stream itsself? Probably.

My advice, pleading advice, is that you USE YOUR DAMN BRAINS before
spewing
your crap on here. Think about what you are doing. If your question
is
"How do I do X with class/object Y?" Then why not open up the Obejct
Browser
and take a look at the properties and methods of Y. Also, Google is
your
very bestest of friends when trying to FIGURE SOMETHING OUT FOR
YOURSELF.
