Basic Questions (was RE: Background)

[Gary Rathbone]

I whole heartedly disagree ! I'm happy to see anyone to ask any RR
related question on this list and am constantly surprised by how others
put a new angle on an aspect I considered I was familiar with.

The list helped me a great deal when I first started with MC and RR and
now I'm in a position to return the favour. Fortunately I appreciate
that a 'basic question' is purely subjective. What is 'basic' for one
person is 'difficult' for another.

True, the list could exist "without ever touching these basic areas",
but it would be a much poorer resource for it. "As a matter of courtesty
to others" I suggest that new users are not critisised but encouraged to
participate, I am not so arrogant as to realise I may learn something
new myself.

--------------------------------------
I see on this list (as well as on other forums to 
which I belong) that many new users ask basic questions that are well 
documented either in the documentation that was supplied with the app 
(tutorials, example stacks, code snippets, etc.), or in the discussion 
archives. 

The list does and can exist without ever touching these basic areas,
except 
in the instances where the documentation is poorly written (or even in 
error), or to reveal new-found properties or uses for some basic
documented 
functions. 

A little thought on the subject reveals this can be seen as matter of 
courtesy to others.
