    BIG HUGE RANT (disregard if you want, you've been warned)

    I AM REALLY FED UP with people *cough*tyzoo*cough* who come here and ask questions about how to do things, but in actuality, would really rather if you did it for them.

    If I could reach through my computer screen and stab them in the eyes, I would.

    Now, it could be my pregnancy hormones talking... But I am also fed up with idiots who think that just because they got ahold of a copy of Flash, they are suddenly experts.

    I have a double B.F.A. in Classical and Computer Animation and Communications.

    DUH!!! It takes hard work and schooling to get to the level that some of us are at. Not a couple of tutorials and a copy of flash. (Mind you there are exceptions...)

    Usually people will learn how difficult it is once they start doing it themselves. I tend to ignore those who want work done for them.

    Soon, the people we are discussing will learn for themselves that no one will do things for them, but will teach them how. Eventually they will learn.

    Yes, but at the expense of my sanity.

    If they ask questions then they probably do not think that they are Experts. I'll wager that they are Enthusiastic, keen to learn & maybe a little daunted at the magnitude of Learning Flash.

    Maybe a better explanation would enable peopel to "Do-It-Themselves".

    Not Everyone with a Degree can teach(thank god).
