RE: Help me shake the cobwebs out... (also http://www.computer-programmer.org/articles/struts/ is back up)
You're welcome. Sorry I was a bit terse/militant, but this list has been spammed with so much crap lately it's starting to overwhelm my usually pacific demeanour. :)
peace,
Joe

Re: Help me shake the cobwebs out... (also http://www.computer-programmer.org/articles/struts/ is back up)
Posted by Craig Tataryn <cr...@hotmail.com>.
That's ok Joe, I understand.
The one thing I do when I subscribe to a mail group is say to myself "Am I
here to help myself or to help others?" Nine times out of ten it ends up
being both. If I respond to someone's query I only do so if I legitimately
have something to contribute, I never respond if it is going to be
condesending. When I dedicate myself to helping a mailing list, I answer
people's questions in hopes that they may one day answer some of mine. Yes,
I should have queried the manuals closer, my bad. Remember sarcasim should
be left for Usenet :) If I respond with an RTFM type post, I usually
provide a link to the document I wish the user to read, or atleast a quote.
I know some people abuse this level of help, but on a whole it helps the
group.
In my RTFM'ing I understand the concept behind Dynaforms, but was wondering
if someone could provide an example?
And Plugins, still not clear on how/when I would use such a thing. Is there
a specific example someone has at the top of their head?
Thanks,
Craig.
