RE: [Metastockusers] User Manual Vs Group Posting ( Dusant Vs Hemant )

Reading the manual alone need not necessarily mean that you can effectively develop the required code or effectively understand a procedure, even if it seems simple to others .  For instance it took a considerable amount of experimenting before I could get the conversion from Excel to Metastock going.  Today it is extremely simple for me.
 
What is simple or can be understood from Manuals etc would also depend upon the indivijual. I would vote for members asking questions simple or otherwise ... it need not be a reflection on their laziness etc....

My only comment can be that you have a VERY WRONG point of view in the purpose of existence of user groups....IT'S NOT for helping you being LAZY. The groups were created in order to help users to exchange views and help them overcome problems that can NOT be solved with the standard mthods and the contents of the manual.
To cut a long story short: R. T. F. M. (as my teachers used to say to me, when I had very basic questions;-)
I believe this is clear enough.

Subject: [Metastockusers] User Manual Vs Group Posting ( Dusant Vs Hemant )

Dusant,
 
Kindly read this serious message which describes superiority of group posting compared to User Manual.
 
Purpose of Group :- To help novice / amateur members like me. Thus members join the group for getting guidance & help.  By posting, members are getting various good solutions advice from different sources unlike one solution mentioned in user manual.  Even sometime user manual is silent to some of novice member queries. Beside most members who are having busy schedule do not have time to read user manual so they post to group and get fast & reliable advice which is great & aim of group. 
 
In future also like me there will be lots of novice metastock user who will be posting queries who may have read user manual but would be prefering group posting to get help & guidance due to reasons mentioned above and othe reasons.  Please do not act as Watch Dog & de-motivate the novice members. Let them learn and grow.
 
Group members view are welcomed on this debate.
 
Thanks

Hemant,
 
I seriously think you need to sit down and read the user manual, or the online help.
 
I have been noticing that all the posts are queries from you which are all very basic, and contained in the manual.
