One last thing: Forums like this really differ from toehr kinds of forums.
Proffessional Programmers always had a feeling of superiority (I mean in a good sense) to other people who didn't know how to use a computer. I don't know why this is the case with programming, but I have seen this into myself, and to other people towards me. I believe that's the way it works, and I have to accept it.
What I want to say is that, although in other forums we see people being treated like COMPLETE equals, in technical forums this is not the case. Here, not only other people see you as just another user, but also as a potential programmer.
So, when other people try to figure out what kind of person you are, they judge you both as a person and as a programmer. So, 'we all have rights to post and being treated polite', but not everyone's opinions have the same value as other people's opinions. I believe this matters a lot when it comes for a newbie to get answers from a proffessional, and that is the most common problem about newcomers here.
