As others have stated above, you have a tendency to get combative with people and show others a general lack of respect. That in and of itself is unacceptable behavior, but moreover, the people you are arguing with have put a lot of work into the tools you seem to be taking for granted. It is not good etiquette on your part to belittle their efforts. >Austin Ziegler wrote: >> It's pretty easy to find the information without searching miles of >> email messages and without being asinine.

He has contributed to this community far more than you have sir. In either case, you have no right to resort to name calling--trust me, it only serves to make you look like a fool. > As I've said before, if it doesn't come from the official Ruby website > it's difficult to say with any certainty that the information you are > reading can be trusted. You should try to learn how useful things are on your own. Use your mind and evaluate the source for yourself. This will prevent you from missing out on a great amount of useful information. > Get a clue and stop being so arrogant. Please take your own advice Reggie. It is horribly bad form to come into a community and start telling others how things should be done. > You have turned a simple request into a large nothing! No, they are rightfully getting upset at you for your poor behavior. > If you don't like what I've said, don't answer my post. You will find that if you continue to conduct yourself in the current manor, you will get exactly what you've asked for. For the others on the list, I'd like to apologize for the off-topic post. All of your efforts are greatly appreciated. Your contributions are what make ruby (and ruby-talk) as great as they are. -- Lou.
