Daniel seems motivated much like me. I like to help other learn, in a dialog with some back and forth. I do not enjoy spool feeding information to others. Few people post replies of thanks (yes the answers helped), but even fewer post replies of ingratitude (no, that answer didn't help).

Sadly, the vast majority give no reply either way. I'd say the ratio of thanks to ingratitude is very high. So I do not think it's arrogant.

It's not the DB that is dangerous. Received on Tue Jan 25 2005 - 19:44:30 CET
