<p>That said your question was a reasonable one for this list imo.
Some folks even after reading api and docs ask much worse.

Thanks,<br>
<br>
Reading the docs makes little sense without real examples. Only when
I understand how it works can I find relevance in the docs. I am not
asking everyone to work this way but it is the way I work and I have
found I make progress using this approach. Google is your friend. I
am happy to share my knowledge without first asking if someone has
read the manual back to back or for that matter even opened it. The
aim, for me, is to get people to contribution and to make progress.
I quick google of bibble_235 drupal will show I also contribute as
well.<br>
