Asking Too Many Questions?

Exactly the problem.
By the OP's own admission, he can look it up himself, but just likes to ask questions.
At no time did anyone say to stop asking questions on something he cannot figure out for himself.

@wilburton, I hadn't noticed you asking too many questions, but I'm not super-observant about these things. Now that you do bring it up, I do like to see a transition from noobs asking "what is this?" to more regular members asking "I think that I have this. Can you please confirm?" We all reach that second stage at different rates.

I hope that you always feel welcome to ask questions on CCF.

Willburton, as has been stated, there is ABSOLUTELY no problem with asking a question, or continuing to ask the same questions in general to help get over a snag in understanding. When I encounter such folks, I will just try a new approach/cconcept to attempt to break through the mind block so one can finally get to the point of understanding the answer.

BUT, there MUST come a point in any educational system where a serious student begins using the tools he(she, it, Heinz 57) has repeatedly been given. That knowledge will never become personal, "your own", until you do. There are two life's adages that are of prime importance here.

"You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink"

And the "Teacher's(Manager's, Parents) Clause", "Teach yourself out of a job". As a former businessman, manager, I got there because I "taught" my installation abilities to someone else. I didn't have to protect my knowledge to save my job, I became promoted because I had "followers" who could do my old job. I then had to learn NEW responsibilities. That is why we "pass it on", and when you finally "have it", you can give it! It is the same in the military, Sargents teach Privates, Lieutenants teach Sargents.

I believe there are 3 types of people in the world. There are Sheep, Wolves and Guardians. Sheep aren't the mindless masses(necessarily) but are followers, they plod along, doing their own thing, but are vulnerable to the Wolves who want to take even if possible the sheep's life, and there are those who choose to stand up to the Wolves, correct what is wrong and fight the Wolf if necessary. We are all one or the other of these, but, people can change, that is their CHOICE. And it comes from doing your OWN HOMEWORK!




John1, excellent point. I seem to be a lightning rod at times myself, I will get few daring souls to respond, but many lookee-sees. So? It all comes down to quality postings and necessity. Which can be a conundrum anywhere, even here on CCF.

If ONE person answers your question then why do you feel you need more comments than that?

I've found some horses do drink, while some do not.

I used bounce around to many forums here on CCF, but now focus mainly on this one. If you're referring to a specific topic in this or another forum, please link to it or bump it for further exposer. I've found sometimes specific information is straight forward while other times it may need a greater audience. When doing so please explain why.

Case in point check your 1859 inquiry now. I see it was answered, but yet a bit lacking. Thanks, Doug.

And others run into burning barns.

wilburton,

If you ever want to feel better about your self just look at my posts. I get everything wrong and for the life of me can't get double dies correct. I am like the rain man of this forum. Pretty much everyone who responded to your post has told me not DDO but MD at least 20 times.
