[Tutor] STUPID telnet connection question

[davidheiserca at gmail.com]

I think Steven and Alan misunderstood the Rayon's question.

Rayon is using his telnet script to pass commands to a device ONE AT A TIME. 
Then he breaks the connection and reconnects for the next command..

He is asking how to open a telnet connection, pass MULTIPLE commands, then 
close the session.

In my opinion, both of your responses border on rude. This mailing list is 
supposedly for beginners who often don't even know enough to formulate a 
clear question. If some of the more senior members ridicule the beginner's 
stupid questions, how will he or anyone else learn anything.

If I were a shy beginning programmer, these responses would probably cause 
me to think twice before asking any stupid questions. Why put myself out 
there for ridicule?

There are no stupid questions! There are only stupid teachers.
