One final note: Divya, my feelings certainly were not hurt, and I
doubt anyone else's feelings here were hurt either.
(Yes, I and some of my friends did use your posts as a source
of entertainment and the butt of jokes, but we kept that entirely
private, and you'd never have known at all except that I'm mentioning
it now. So that's irrelevent.)
Most importantly, what I told you in my previous post is in fact the
best possible answer I know how to give you. Honestly, it's
the best advice I know. There are many newbies here who ask questions
and get answers, it's not a problem, we're used to it. But you're not
up to their level yet. Perhaps you can be, but not without thought
and effort on your part first.
If you want an example of someone to emulate, see some of
Tammy M's posts;
here's just
one of many
good ones. She's an excellent example of a relative OpenACS
newbie who seems to have quickly come up to speed in a few months, and
who asks good questions and posts good helpful information.
Oh, I don't know that it will be of any actual help, but this article
is also very good, and quite interesting:
