It's all a mater of taking the time to read the instructions, and being willing to learn.
If he does not read the instructions on how to use the forum, chances are high that he will not take the time to read the cues I gave him on how to get his problem solved. That is basically why I point where is the answer without giving the answer.
On the other hand with the 2 examples I choosed, if he does take the time to read and analyse, he is going to get more then he bargined for. It is what I call positive reenforcement toward good willing people.
