He will learn to do for himself if you lead him. He will learn to rely on you if you provide the answers. And I am using 'you' in general, not specifically Randal R Schultz.
I will help anyone who asks for help and shows that he is making an effort, ie: wants *assistance*.
I will *work* (for $$$s) for someone who wants *me* to do the work. Ahh, I was right. You are playing the parent role. That's what I thought.
Again, I'm too busy to go thru countless threads looking for an answer. That's why the group is here....I think. I don't mind searching when I have time or know what I'm looking for. Before I asked the group I did search and read the man page, but it didn't make any sense. I don't have all day, like other folks which are retired, to figure stuff out. Like most folks on this list, I work, I have a home life and family I have to tend to. I'm old enough to know when to ask for help and when not too. It's best if you don't treat folks like a child and think you're trying to "better" themselves. If I wanted self-help I call Anthony Robins. I don't want you to *work* for me, but I don't want a half-assed answer either. I'm dropping this now. Toodles. -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 1.805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com
