Okay, let's get serious for a second. First, you should read "How to ask questions the smart way". This is not to say your question was particulary dumb, but the material explains why you might encounter certain attitudes on a forum. I'm sure it hasn't occurred to you, but we get lebenty-jillion posts from kids who, despite their lack of knowledge, are going to reinvent the wheel, with added features that are worth a couple tons of money. The future zillionaires all want the work done for them, "for free." Their attitude, in their ignorance, is "Why not? It's easy!" Of course, if you can succeed in getting competent people to work for you at no charge, you might very well become that zillionaire. Go for it if you think it represents the best expenditure of your time. Meanwhile, expect your posts to be treated as the kind of content they truly are.
