Sarcasm and funny lines don't help at all whoever is trying to
learn !
Those who have learned and know a lot now, please don't forget
that, at some stage, you had this and other kind of questions and
problems and they are all valid.
No one is born with infinit wisdom - some will learn quicker then
others, some will be more hardworking in learning then others - this
is one of the main features of humanity - diference !

Be human, help and get helped ( and don't expect a reward for it ) !
