RE: [Dev-C++] (no subject)

Verne is new at C++ too by his own admission; therefore I think he's
qualified to say this: he has just been reading books and teaching himself.
Verne's point is that reading a book really would help, so, from his point
of view, suggesting (however loudly) that Austin read a book is actually
giving help, not being unhelpful.

Sometimes the "tough love" approach to programming help is appropriate.
Apparently, Verne believes this is a case where "tough love" help is the
right kind.

As for whether it was needed, we are all adults here and I don't think it's
our responsibility to judge Verne. It's up to Verne to use his own best
judgment, and I don't think he would be the type of person who would use bad
judgment before he wrote something.

Correct me if I'm wrong on some of my points. I'm just trying to point out
what Verne might have been thinking when he dispensed the advice.

Was that really needed?

Don't help, if you don't want to help.
