In my 1-day experience as a user on this ruby forum, I have discove= red
that if a user says that they are a =E2=80=9Cnewb=E2=80=9D or a =E2=80=9Cbe= ginner=E2=80=9D then they may
be verbally attacked or told they are being =E2=80=9Cpassive=E2=80=9D.
The intent of a forum is for other users to help or advise a user in the subject matter; it is not to decide if the user is being =E2=80=9Cpassive= =E2=80=9D in
their approach.

Perhaps there is a need to focus on helping users with ruby programming
logic when the user requests help instead of replying to the user by
stating that they are being =E2=80=9Cpassive=E2=80=9D as discovered in this= thread or
making false accusations.

Since I am directly called for word "pa= ssive" I have to answer :)
I think that sending solution with sour= ce code to inexperienced Ruby programmer is not good for him.
