This was exactly the point of my last posting, if this person is truely deaf, that is a handicap to learning correct English. We cannot assume that this person is an idiot just because they don't phrase their questions well. What about our oriental and european friends? I've seen some pretty general difficult questions from them too. I can't believe this is a hoax. Lazy maybe. Homework? If we give someone code maybe, but they're only asking for sources. So point them in the right direction, tell them which articles are worth their time and leave it at that. The general concensus of personal mail that I've received as echoed my concern for lack of technical discussions. Seems like this really does warrent the past discussions about splitting off the 2d and image questions to a second group. Let's all help better the S/N ratio.
