What's on Your Mind? Come inside and relax a while. Maybe play a few Video Arcade Games if you have free time.

There are cases when one can figure that the questions posted are classwork based. These cases are easy to handle.

But there are also cases when the posters are quite smart and post in such a way that it does not look like homework. There is nothing much we can do in this case. But you can look at it this way : in the long run, it is perhaps the poster who loses out.

There are rules laid down in this forum. The administrators and moderators do their best to see that the rules are not broken. It may happen that a-post-here or a-post-there may be missed out. In those the members of the forum are kind enough to report those cases.

Eventually it is contribution of the members, who care much about the rules, that make this forum so good to use.

Cheers !

I understand the made remarks, I see now that maybe I should have hold back a bit.
I will take the rules more seriously.......

"what have you tried so far?"
that's my famous quote in this forum

I use that often.

Sometimes we just answer the questions that are already answered 'n' number of times ( where 'n' is a real big number )

I just redirect them to use the search facility of the forum
