Vidhyadhar,
To quote from your response to Waza - '... such knowledge transfer should be
done to the benefit of the person(s) seeking clarifications.' How would
one interpret benefit? Getting the full solution in a platter or being
shown a way to develop the solution through one's own diligence? As the
Chinese saying goes "Give a man a *fish*; *you* have fed him for today. *Teach
a man to fish*; and *you* have fed him for a lifetime". I will add to it -
'Teach a man to fish; and he can feed himself as well as a few others for a
lifetime'.
Sadly enough, majority of the posts in this board are made without even
taking the effort to press the F1 key, let alone try something out or go
deeper or even check the archives. If a pointer is provided, there is no
effort to carry it further and develop on it. Provide the full solution and
you have one more 'very experienced' consultant who is going to implement
the solution without knowing why it would work. Knowledge sharing involves
a great deal of responsibility and effort on the one who is getting the
knowledge. And the one who is sharing the knowledge gained it from own
efforts and persistence, which the knowledge seeker is either refusing to
follow (the easy way out, ask someone who knows) or is incapable of doing it
without a little support. The latter category will run along once they get
the lead and the former would make no sense out of the lead provided.
Waza's statement "I prefer to give a hint, rather than give a full bodied
solution, or maybe tomorrow I won't be employable anymore!!! "
is very revelant and valid. It is not the sharing the knowledge that would
make any one un-employable, but the inefficient adoption of such knowledge.
Enough said, I will leave the rest to one's imagination. As for Waza, he
had been providing valuable contributions for a very long time now and I
concur with his stated view absolutely.
Rajan.
