RE: FLASH: Let me rephrase my question about Flash and Director

[Branden J. Hall]

"Just remember everyone was a newbie once and if "professionals" ( unlike

myself ) don't have the time to help out newbies then they are being

very selfish. "


Sorry man, I have to *totally* disagree with you here.  Some of use choose

to help others because we enjoy it, not because its the "right" thing to do.

Knowledge always comes at a price. In this case it costs myself and others

on the list time, and hence quite possibly money to spread knowledge about

flash.  If we weren't paying, others would be, by purchasing  classes,

books, etc.  It is, in fact, adventageous to a certain extent for me to keep

people from learning flash, since I teach courses about it.  I could just

say "Hey, thats covered in the class, come take it to find out" to any

question that floated my way.  I have just chosen to do otherwise.


I think that J.C., Marc Hoffman, and all of the other list regulars would

agree with me in saying that we help because we like to, not because a guilt

trip.
