With all due respect, making something unnecessarily hard and then explaining what you made unnecessarily hard is not "educating" them. On 10/3/05, Gerhard Killesreiter <killesreiter@physik.uni-freiburg.de> wrote:

The problem here is: Who is the user? Is it the admin of a site? Or is it the user registering on a site. For that latter kind of user I do agree with you, for admins I do not.
You have a point, but what you have to remember is that not all admins are technical gurus like you :-)
Sometimes the admin of a site is a newbie, or sometimes it is me. Haha. :-)
Well, my stance is that I rather educate people (even if it takes a mallet) rather than dumbing down things so that anybody can _think_ they understand them.
