Agreed. Although, there is a great difference between mentoring a newcomer,
and a newcomer getting on the public address system of a several thousand
person company and asking how to plot a current in HSPICE. How many times
would that behavior be tolerated before the newbie was escorted out the door?
(Or, how many times would the request need to be answered for the PA system to
become clogged with such requests.)
Furthermore, it would be derelict of duty for a mentor to deprive his/her
charge of the opportunity to learn to help themselves. A good mentor knows
it?s often necessary to back off and let the newcomer struggle with a problem.
It seems that is exactly what Ed was trying to do.

I agree with this poster's comments. I have spent 10 seconds reading the
original question and 4 minutes reading all the flaming and commentary about it.
If you don't want to contribute on this list to the development of lesser
experienced engineers, that is your prerogative. However if you are a member of
the IEEE, you have attested to the code of ethics which can be found at
http://www.ieee.org/portal/index.jsp?pageID=corp_level1&path=about/whatis&fil
ðo J$ XÖÿ¿?Ñ@D×ÿ¿??e=code.xml&xsl=generic.xsl[1] and which reads in
part:
"We ... agree:
"5. to improve the understanding of technology, its appropriate application,
and potential consequences;"
"10. to assist colleagues and co-workers in their professional development and
to support them in following this code of ethics."
If a posting is clearly off topic, it is appropriate for the moderator to refer
the poster to the FAQs for the list. My advice to those of you who feel you are
above answering such questions is to learn to be more tolerant of others and if
you don't want to assist the poster, delete their message from your folder and
move on. You will have more time to dwell on your own ego, and the rest of the
world will be a better place.
