1. If your tutor found out you got the material from a discussion board s/he will be furious.
2. As a matter of principle the denizens of Meaningless Drivel do not help people with their homework
3. We believe that self reliance is a virtue to be promoted with vehemence.

Actually everyone wants to work with me because I am an excellent mentor and teacher. In fact, I teach at Hofstra University. But I go crazy when someone asks a simple question like, "Will this code compile?" My answer is, why don't you compile it and find out!!! If they ask me, "I compiled this but it comes back with errors. Could you explain what these errors mean?" then I am more than happy to spend time explaining exactly what is wrong and how to correct the errors.Originally posted by Sahir Shibley:

[BThis explains a lot -- A search of the last 10 days on your name reveals exactly one post relating to answering a java question. Aren't the experienced supposed to be helping the newbies? If you don't want to help, fine. But don't tell others not to. This post has made me madder than any other one I've seen.

That's true. We have some projects going on the Ranch, and all bartenders always want to work with Tom. We just hide all blunt knifes from him and Paul counts his moderators every day � just in case.
