Well I can tell you the way I do it for truly new members is to search out
the answer for them and give them a link but also tell them how I did it.
I.e. I found this on google while searching for blah. Now there are some
members on the list who I will not do this for. Those are members who do
not look up things on their own. I don't consider people to be new at it
after being told it more than three times. Also I will go off and write
code examples for new members where I don't always do that for older members
of the list. So some people might think new people don't get what they need
on this list by the answers others get. That is not always the case some
times when we don't give the answer to someone it is because we are trying
to teach the person to fish rather than giving them the fish.

Hi,
New programmers are certainly welcome here. I think that people get upset
when list members seem to repeatedly avoid reading documentation and
searching for help when they run into problems. It's a difficult thing to
figure out. We need to be respectful of others needs by both giving in a
little when someone needs help and maybe giving them some answers so that
they don't get too frustrated and give up, and those of us who are
frustrated because something won't work need to remember that we won't in
all likelihood hurt things too badly if we try something and find out that
it doesn't work, or read some documentation before we ask.
Thanks all.
Jim
