hey no big deal man. its not like i dont understand where youre comin from. sh1t, if i hafta tell one more person how to time stretch with SF....
but when i think its too stupid, and im too busy/tired for it, i tend to just not say anything. or maybe i will call them lazy, and then give em some info. i mean at least you werent rude, which is more than can be said for a lot of the people who go after the noobs.
and as for opinions, i think they can be very very valuable to a nooby. in fact they can be more valuable than the facts. noobs tend to not know what they want or need, and they tend not to understand the 'technical' explanations when they try to figure it out. so what they often need is a 'real world' idea of what things can really do, and what they can really be used for. i mean look at the original post---what does he really want to know? i dunno. i dont know if he really does. we know his problem, and that he wants to do something about it. he only really asked about FL. if he asks any more speciic questions, i will give him more factual answers, if im able. thats how i roll. ha. i know myslef, id often rather have get answers from someone who is doin and usin the stuff, than from the corporate website. its easier to apply to my own work.
peace.
