Re: for chuck (regarding your style)

People post here to solve their problems not to learn why and how. But if
they do want to know why and how the problem is solved they can ask for
clarification. I doubt there are people here that complain Chuck solved
their problem but he didn't teach them in the process.

By only ever linking people to results on your website, you are

fair to the technical community.

No other experts or MVPs do that. Hence, they cater to both novice
end users, and the technical community.

It's a shame, because when you answer a thread, another expert may
choose not to, and so all we get is your material.

I see you want to advertise your skills/services "PC Chuck's

It wouldn't be a bad idea to set up your own google group!
You may well have many customers. .

Hi James,

It is awfully hard to provide answers that appeal to everybody here,
yet provide
effective solutions. That's why some folks here use hypertext,
rather than flat
files (all detail in posts), in helping. Windows Networking is a
very deep
subject, with hundreds of possible problems. Sometimes the problems
stem from
someone buying their computer at Walmart (and I shop there too), but
we try to
go beyond that and help teach the Walmart shoppers.

This forum, like many busy ones on the Internet, is very large. Not
one person
here knows all of the answers. Typically, many people help provide
the answers,
and learn from each other as they do. And when one person gives a
bogus
(intentionally or otherwise) answer, the folks who know the answer
don't let a
bogus answer stand very long.

I started my blog long ago, purely as notes which I would copy and
paste into my
responses here. Then I realised that my notes all related to each
other, so I
hyper linked everything, which made it hard to copy and paste
effectively. Then
I found people reading my blog.

If I've offended you, I apologise. This brings to mind the story
about the old
man and his son taking their donkey to sell at the village market, a
story which
I did use in one of my blog articles, but you don't want to read
that. How to
transport the donkey was a question with many answers, none of which
pleased all
of the neighbours watching the trio, and none of the three made it
alive to the
market. That is an Aesop's fable, I believe, which you may Google at
your
leisure.

Your site is targetted at solving problems(which may well help you
too), but provides watered down explanations of technical concepts.
Heavily watered down versions of your own understanding , not written
for yourself or for technical people.

You of course, understand the concepts, and you gained an
understanding of networks from some sources, yet your website has no
references e.g. to help others understand.

Your site and service here helps people solve problems, but doesn't
help them to understand them. Yet It pretends to.

I have tried reading some of your posts, and it reminds me of when
people look for all their answers on Gibson's site. I don't want to
compare you to Gibson, he is evil. But, don't you see a similarity?
He is another person that offers watered down explanations, not for a
technical audience, and really stunts the development of his readers.
Sure though, he helps a lot of people, whilst making people very
dependent on him - in a way others don't.

OK, James, if there is a question asked here, and you know the answer,
you are
perfectly entitled to answer it. In any way that you see fit. This is
an open
forum.

Maybe you have better answers, that's how we learn anyway.

We'll look forward to your learned comments.


Probably not, since I don't know about much about networking. Of
course, that doesn't invalidate my point.

OK, it's good that you can admit that you don't know much about
networking. And
what you probably don't know here is that this forum isn't always about
networking - it's about the people who use networking, and figuring out
their
problems.

And that's why the answers - that are too basic for your learned
experience
(which you admit is low) - involve more than simple networking concepts.
And
that's why my website is focused on very basic concepts, and simple
problems.

And now, a reminder. Malke called the troll in her post. No troll points
here,
so move along. (Sorry, Malke).
