Re^2: Forward tracing a text

Hello, thanos1983. There's a more or less unspoken consensus on this kind of questions, where the author seems to expect the job to be done without any effort on their part, is to never provide a fully functional answer, but at most pieces of solutions, through documentation or small solutions to sub problems.

That's not the first post from pdahal with a clear lack of effort. Actually the title from this nodes reminded me of Backtracking in perl, where it kind of looks like the OP tried pretty much the same approach, but by replacing "back" by "forward", just in case it would fool us into giving the answer. So this might have played a role on the number of downvotes you got (which would be infortunate, you're not supposed to know the posting history of the monks you answer to)

NB: There was a discussion a few days ago on a closely related subject here.

Hello Eily, Thanks for the time and effort providing an explanation. Well from one point of view I agree but I have been in a similar case in the past where although I had done really hard work and research on my problem I was not able to found the solution. Maybe it was 5 - 6 years ago. I asked the forum for assistance and people where so happy to help me with my problem that more or less ~~laid~~ that was the trigger for me to join the monastery and try to become a monk my self. Having said that, I am a firm believer that every question should have an answer. To be 100% honest I saw the answer of fellow monk kcott and although it is complete and include exactly what it should include I thought, why not spend some time and work with Biology and Perl. Never tried it before this is why I wanted to play. I can not blame anyone that down-voted me I just carried a bit too much I suppose. Well I always say you will never learn until you try and fail and try again. :D Hopefully next time with more correct approach. Again thanks for your time and effort. Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's the key, there. You were putting in the study and effort, and that would have been shown in the quality of questions you can ask about the problem. A half-decently written spambot is capable of repeatedly spewing semi-randomized problem quotes and Markov chain titles together. We need to demand better from humans.	[reply]
