Hey Stephen.. gotta kind of agree with you about the friends aspect of the net!!! i've often thought that there's a business to be had, by actually setting up irc channels/forums/threads where you have people pay some small amount to actually be able to be part of a system where you're going to get reasonable answers to questions... you minimize the blatant lazy questions, as you've had to pay to belong to the channel... and at the same time, you can still help people with really basic questions who really are trying to resolve something, but they simply need help... you could probably easily get businesses to sponsor this as well.. peace.. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Johnson [mailto:maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 12:47 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Banned from #php It seems to me... And this is just my unimportant opinion.... But... Your initial question was a violation of the RTFM and STFW tenets... Both would have provided you answers to such a basic question rather quickly.. Then when wolfpaws provided you more information (print_r added to your google search provides the answer in the second listing) you again violated the above tenets. (second strike if you will ) Then when you were finally spoonfed an answer that you should have known before ever even starting your first session in PHP... You thanked wolfpaws by telling him he was obnoxious... (third strike and your banned)... Again, I am not a member of #php or any irc channel for that matter, and I have no idea who this wolfpaws is, but his actions seem justified to me... And that is just from hearing your side of the story ... Lastly, you said : > I hope this is the right place to ask because I simply can't find any place > else to ask for help. No, I do not believe that this is the right to ask this question, since it has nothing to do with PHP, and apparently the moderator of said IRC channel is not here... Remember, when coding, php.net and google are friends. Everyone else hates you.
