Understood... even said that folks like me cater to newbies... so long as they don't have a chip on their shoulder. I don't believe you'll find any of the heavy hitters on this forum want to see someone fail just because they're new and they certainly don't find pleasure in seeing someone suffer or get fired. Part of the reason why I take my personal time to post is because I didn't have anyone to ask when I started and the internet was nothing but a hard coded dirt road.

In the office, I'm happy to help someone who wants to learn. I've taught 5 or 6 lunch'n'learns in the few months I've been at the new job and I have absolutely no problem showing someone how to do something. But if you come up to me and ask me for help with an arrogant attitude, you probably aren't going to get my help even if it's on how to just make coffee.

We all have to work together and business is tough enough without putting up with arrogance or bad attitude from anyone and that covers even more than just getting some help.
