[Tutor] Asterisk

[Bob Gailer]

I regret my prior post suggesting that the questioner "rtfm". I had felt 
some frustration at being asked a question whose explanation is in the 
manual. I neglected to take into account that different folks have 
different learning styles. I used to teach programming and related topics 
for Boeing Computer Services Education & Training division in Seattle. I 
would learn what I needed to know from the manuals, then create and teach a 
class. I often wondered "why are these students here? why don't they just 
read the manual?"

This IS a tutor list, and I will aim to be a teacher here too.

I do recommend being acquainted with the manuals and checking there first.
