As a long-time user of this forum, I can assure you that
the type of rude and unprofessional response that you
are referring to is the exception, not the rule.
usually you'll find helpful and knowledgable answers here.

I am new to VEE and the users group. I signed up to this
yesterday, and the first emails I received was over
the issue below. I have to tell you, I am now hesitant
to post technical questions, in fear of getting flamed.
I second the motion to have two use levels of
user groups (or, maby a way to identify the users
experience level at the top of email?).
As a beginner, I have to say that, yes, the basic info
is in the manuals or the Agilent web page. But you gotta
really dig for some of the basics (or admittedly, refresh
your knowledge on handling matrices and the Matlab mindset).
What would really help us newbies (so we don't post novice questions) is
a site with (categorized) example VEE programs for simple
real world tasks.(For example, I wanted to pull a column
of data from an MxN matrix, and eventually found the answer
in a round about way on Agilent
site under "How can I copy elements from one row (column)
to another row (column) in an array?"
I am not hesitant to "do my homework" and "hit the books"
instead of being lazy and posting newbie questions !
However, I need some sort of "beginners user's library"
(i.e. examples NOT written by advanced users with different
perspectives / assumptions than the new user).

Dear Mr.Turner,
Thank you for the message.
I think it's necessary an explanation and, obviously, also my
personal apologies to Mr.Parks.
When I asked to Mr. Parks "Are you sure that your company is
Agilent?" I meant that "It sounds stange to me that no one in your
company
could teach you in the comprehension of the VEE Programming rules with
Direct I/O"..yes...I know...my original question was too harsch, but
useful
to rise the problem.
It's obvious that in a Users Group I can find beginners,
intermediate and experts users but it's not productive talking almost
always
about questions on basic rules, very well explained in the VEE Manuals.
Probably is better to spend more than 20 minutes to read the
manuals
: a lot of doubts becomes knowledge in this way. Also it's not in my
interests to teach users in the use of VEE, I think that it's in the
interests of Agilent (who sells the VEE) to increase the knowledge of
VEE in
the world (specially towards its employees)
Moreover I don't understand why some difficult problems (but
very
interesting) are not taken in serious consideration by the list readers.
So, here is my proposal : Is it possible to create two different
lists (one for beginners and one for intermediate/expert users) or ,
probably more simple, using a Subject rule for messages (i.e. [VEE_BGN]
Subject and [VEE_ADV] Subject) so it's possible to filter messages ?
Thank you to all for the attention.
Again, my apologies to Mr.Parks for the trouble.
Best regards
