[comp.sys.mac.misc] suggestions regarding "BASIC" question

halam1@ub.d.umn.edu (Haseen I. Alam) (11/15/90)

 Hi netters,

 The net is great, I have received a lot of help from a lot of people and a
 lot of answers to a lot of my questions.  Some of the questions may have
 been BASIC to some, others were highly specialized.  From time to time I
 see a lot of the netters get a bit irritated when they see a question is
 repeated over and over.

 Now if we want the Mac community to increase and flourish then the experts
 need to help the novice.  If the novice are discouraged to ask their
 questions then they might never get them answered.  This is not a call to
 start up a new "comp.sys.mac.basic" group.  Then the experts will never
 read it and the novice will never get their questions answered.

 Instead if we encourage or modify the subject to include the word "basic"
 in it, then the experts who do not care to look at those can KILL the
 entire thread without having to read any of them.  Then those of us who
 are a little helpful and considerate can reply to these messages.  But the
 funny thing is that a lot of the times the subject starts with a simple
 question then gets more and more specific and interesting.

 So how is that as a BASIC/simple idea.

 Haseen
