#169057 - It's not a default response! Responding to: ???'s previous message |

I take offense that default response is "didn't search first" is always the answer or RTFM. No, that is not a default response - that is a considered response to people who have clearly made no effort whatsoever to even think about the problem themselves, or to even try to google or read some appropriate documentation. A classic example that turns up from time to time on the Keil forum is, "how do I interface 'C' to assembler"; but there is a whole section in the Keil manual explicitly titled, "interfacing 'C' to assembler" - so what response does that deserve other than RTFM?! For exanple, again, do you really think that these posters have done any searching or thinking before demanding "URGENT" help: http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread15602.asp http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread15583.asp The problem is the self righteous and "how dare you ask the same question" It's not "how dare you ask the same question"; if anything, it's "how dare you expect people to give you this stuff for free when you have obviously made no effort yourself" if it is a repeat and it ANNOYS some, then just don't post or move on, the thread dies and no one get ruffled But the poster learns nothing - see: http://www.8052.com/forumchat/read/169036 It almost seems like goal for people to spank others No, the goal is to get them to think and, perhaps, to come back better prepared next time; again, see: http://www.8052.com/forumchat/read/169036 and what does that really achieve......the answer is nothing. Wrong. It does have the potential to educate; again, see: http://www.8052.com/forumchat/read/169036 |
