<pre wrap="">And let me play devil's advocate here.
You may find some people who are willing to hold your hand for some
length of time for free, but they will be few and far between. You
should have no expectations of that and count your blessings when you
do.

I don't. I was responding to the call for people to help Drupal.<br>

To really succeed, you need to be self-motivated and develop a love
for the pleasure you feel when you stop banging your head walls for
several hours. The 25 min. you spent waiting for an answer form others
could have been hunting around on drupal.org finding an answer and
googling what the command line was.

And this is why people say what they say about Drupal. <br>
Isn't the documentation for the self-motivated? I didn't sit and wait,
I'm a multitasker from way back. I wasn't looking for command line, I
was looking where to post suggestions for the documentation as
requested in the issue. I didn't know where to put that information.<br>

So what I'm saying is, you need to get over the "unfriendly" feeling
you have when someone doesn't immediately respond to your question.
You are owed nothing.

your right. I'm not owed anything, however I don't have to get over
anything. I was responding to Drupal.org request for contributing back.
>From what I've read, and heard, and seen, there is a movement to change
the publics view of Drupal. If you actually read my email I asked what
I could do, and made an observation. If the intent of the community
isn't to become more inclusive and user friendly, then hey sorry I
offered to help. I'll just continue on learning it for myself.<br>

My advice is to just put your head down, work hard, bang your head on
the wall, take pleasure when you figure something out, find something
else to do if you get stuck, contribute when you get a chance, and
count your blessing when you find someone who takes the time to give
you advice. But the bottom line is, free advice and a helping hand
will take you maybe 20% of the way there. The rest has to come from
within.</pre>

Again, I wasn't asking for free advice or a helping hand for Drupal,
but for a way for ME to help in the documentation of Drupal. <br>
<br>
Steve, I'm very happy with the responses I've received. Yours however
really wasn't appropriate, nor even applied to what I was asking. I
hope you day turns out better then this email indicates. Maybe you
should quit bagging your head against the wall and take a break. I
think I may have hit a nerve and that wasn't my intention.<br>
