Re: GoAhead Web Server Problem.


> Please help me in figuring out the problem.

You have put this correctly. We will help _you_ solve the problem. But
at the moment there is no indication you have even tried to solve the
problem yourself. 

Please give us an idea of the things you have tried to solve the
problem. What have you learned about the problem etc. What do you know
the problem isn't etc.

There seems to be a general trend at the moment that as soon as
somebody has a problem they email the list with nearly no information
and expect somebody to solve it for them. That is not how it works.
We voluntarily answer questions. If a question is interesting we are
more likely to answer it. If the person has shown a good attempt to
find the solution themselves we are more likely to answer it. If
however its a question that has been asked and answered 10 times
before we think why should be bother? If it looks like the person has
made no effort to find the problem themselves, we think why should be
bother. This person is only going to ask more questions like this in
the future, ask silly questions etc. Its unlikely they will ever learn
to solve there own problems etc.... Why should we work for free...
