GRIPES! : Personal opinion

[Kamel Serend <kamel@nolimits-online.com>]

Hello Justin

To begin with, I would like to say that I agree with you concerning the
sometimes uninteresting questions we can receive. But I have to say that even if
I have a degree in computer science, and two degrees in computer graphics (up to
a Master level), plus some experience in the domain as I am currently wotking
for a young game company, I will never try to talk to "beginners" this way. We
all were beginners, and most of us (even I) still have things to learn.
So, I think that we should help other people share our passion (as long as it
does not take ages to explain the solution of a problem :¬) ), and I have to
admit that I sometimes do not want to answer, but I try to help as much as I
can, hoping that when I will need some help some body will be there for me.
I would like to appologise for both my English (as I am French), and Justin's
reaction and say that as far as I am concerned I will try to keep on helping
others.

Kamel.

PS: the good point is that when you think the question is too basic, a good idea
is to find good tutorials on the Net, as I did to learn most of my knowledge. Do
not consider this last remark as a way to get rid of beginners' questions, but
this is also a very interesting manner to learn many other techniques, in
different domains, in a correct vocabulary.
See you.
