"Better yet, don't post garbage here, save it for myspace or your own website"

But people can learn when they share their mistakes. That's one way to learn new things. For example, I don't use the internet as a safety backup place for my scripts, but that's actually not a bad idea. And if Alex doesn't mention it, I might not even consider it. The other thing is I am not a programmer by profession, so allow me, if I make a mistake, to talk about it. It's like, let's say you are not a photographer and you join a photographers group online. You ask a question or post some experience, and others immediately talk about how stupid you must be. You don't even know X, Y, Z, which are basics. Every photographer knows that except you. So, on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the friendliness of that photographer group?

    And not only for the person sharing. Others can learn from their mistake as well.
