Anyway, the art of silently lurking on a forum in order to get the knack opf how things are done in that place is something recommendable I daresay
i certainly agree... i read every post ever posted here before i made my first post, and i did the same on MT...
i learned a lot more from that then i ever could by asking questions
actually, i think i have only asked 1 question (over on MT) and nobody ever bothered to answer it... but i managed to obtain my answer through implications in other responses to other posts since then

That's an unfortunate view. The purpose of this forum is to exchange knowledge. We wouldn't be here except to ask and answer questions.
Software development needs fewer RTFM people.

I'm talking about the job, bills, mortgage, spouse, kids, tax, the lawn, the car, the sleep deprivation, the birthdays and funerals and barbeques in the park, the freaking mobile phone salesman that wastes an hour of your Friday afternoon, the mechanic that says your car won't be fixed until next week. Your parents ring and say they're visiting for the weekend - rip 2 days out of your calander and throw them in the fire. Your work sends you away for 2 weeks of "how to waste an employees life" training. For *$%*# sake, I'm trying to write an OS here dammit!
This is far too recognizable...
