Perhaps a bit terse on my part. But it does irritate me when someone takes away an employment away from a competent person and then expects that somehow they can reduce years of education and experience into something they can get from a post to a usenet group.

Are there books? Absolutely. And this person will read them and still not be able to do the job.

Are there FAQ. You betcha. And this person will read them and still not be able to do the job.

They should go get a job they can do and then apprentice with someone that knows how to do the job and pay their dues.

Guess it still riles me just a bit. ;-)
