i dunno, I try to help people. this is a knowledge base. its supposed to be a community. we're supposed to help each other [aren't we - maybe my attitude is wrong].
Its not only this forum, but doesn't it irritate you when someone posts a question, and then says "never mind, i figured it out" and then doesn't take time to contribute and post the solution. Like, their time was more valuable - you read their question, maybe thought about it, maybe researched it, maybe wondered that yourself. And yet they can't take time to clarify the syntax or method to help those who come behind them.
so yeah, I think someone's being Stingy if they take from the forum - ask questions - find a solution - and don't report the solution.LOL - I politely and Privately asked Amit to share his results - asking for help and then "ok, i figured it out" doesn't help anyone.
(So I didn't want to post that here and 'call him out' - thats wasn't my intention.
Vlad had recently replied in another thread to Mark Fredericks (and Amit worked on this for Mark) about MOBILE SNAP INTO.
Mark wrote me that it was solved.)
And the answer I got was that some clients may be under NDA and I'm not free to discuss.
OK, I'm calling bullshit.
And then I get a tirade from Amit about this and that - ok, if we want to be stingy and not post solutions to things, but only ask for help when we need it, well thats great.
Happy fucking new year.
Our community isn't growing - its shrinking.
And this knowledge base will keep on shrinking too with attitudes like this.
i'm guilty of just being so busy I don't always reply. but to reply "solved it" with no solution! come on!
but everyone's from different cultures and certainly have different values!
but maybe thats just me.
We lost Pureist several years ago - that was a damn shame.
Talbot doesn't really do anything with Aware anymore.
Jonp moved on.
Frank from France (where's that Frog?),
Hayat got frustrated.
SteveB's company is abandoning Aware.
Haven't seen MrBedrm (I call him Mr. Bedroom and think he's with a mattress company) hasn't logged in for 2 months.
Arnold/BWalk/Harry (that cadre) bought, then never adopted (tho Harry posted this week)
Most of this was in 2019.
(search old threads and there's plenty of posters who were asking good Qs at one point and haven't seen the forum in years)
The product is hard enough to learn without people being Stingy (I had a harsher word here first).
Hope its a better 2020
