These posts show up like clock work.
The OP posted more than 24hours ago. Past experience says he will not post back. (I hope he proves me wrong).

We get a vauge post or a request to "give me" all I need to .....

The group fights over what they may or may not need.
On the Usenet such people are called Trolls. It this case it is not on purpose.

Try going up to your professor an say "give me" without. Showing any effort.

Such posters discourage answering such posts. This makes all future newbees suffer.

Someone who posts limited info and can only check back once a week can not get any benifit fromhis format. Many who answered questions got their answer. Maybe not the one they wanted. but at least a chat about the issues.


I would request all forum members to be little more patient and forgiving with newbies.Because "most" of them have no idea how to deal with a project when they are starting off.So they are on quest to get some basic information to start there project.College professors are of no help here since in india they live in the electronic dark age.So most of the time they are on there own.Most have no access to internet and surf through the cyber cafe(exception maybe metro cities) as explained above (that's why the delay of weeks to reply back).SO when they google for 8052 projects they come to this site.So if you just cut them off or say they are annoying they will not come back and maybe get the project done by others(which there are plenty).This defeats the purpose of this forum totally.So i would like to request all the forum members to be a little more caring and forgiving towards this novices so we can help in there knowledge path.
Please do not feel i am justifying the behaviour but i was in that shoes once and know exctly what was the thought process going on.
