Hey!
This list should accept newbies and their mistakes, and /politely/
point them out. If you need to vent (we all do), then please reserve
that for old hands (such as myself) who can take as good as they give.
Regards,
Pete
PS Welcome, Dirk. It is usually friendlier around here.

Yeah. This is not a perl forum.
As for rules, the only rules anyone who posts here must follow are
those posted on the RDS webpage, which seem to amount to one thing:
"try to stay on the topic of Euphoria or closely related issues."
Beyond that, anything else is just common sense and common courtesy.
Courtesy, by the way, includes ignoring things which may tick you off,
but which are of little or no importance to the teeming billions.

Thanks Pete and others to be so kind for introducing me to your board.
I will be very silence now and dont move.
Anyway I hope I did not pull the trigger =):
Thanks, again and I will work hard to understand Euphoria.
Sleep well (01:42 dutch time)

And thanks to Irv and Derek for being the voice of reason.

I believe (I'm not involved) there are several helpful souls offering,
for free, 1:1 handholding to get newbies up and running.
Regards,
Pete

Not everyone was once a newby, some of us were born yesterday knowing
everything, like me.

PS, My only newby problem with euphoria was years ago, not
understanding that some thing return stuff(graphics_mode) and
otherstuff(puts) doesn't.

Aa a fairly newbie to Euphoria myself (5 years) I have decided to periodically
post a rating system of old hands usefulness to newbie problems.
To assist newbies and oldtimers alike.
Examples :
Pete Lomax - clear and precise quick to respond.
irv mullins - very helpful.
matt lewis - explains things clearly and points out where further help can be
found.
kat - very helpful tends to ramble off into computer technical jargin.
derek parnell - Points out thing that others often miss.
CaJaBo - can be a little snippy but goes into details well.
Sorry if I left anybody out. I will try to include them on my next update.
Any newbies feel free to contribute to the list.
