A General Note To Those Of You That Would Like Ops ... Asking For Ops Is A Sure Fire Way Not To Get Them.. People Are Brought Into The Op Structure Because They Earn It With Their Knowledge, And Actions..

Ops Isn't Just Given Away.. If You Feel You Are Op Material, Well Just Stick Around And Hang, You Will Be Noticed.. And Next Time The Channel Is Looking For An Op, All Will Be Consider Who Have Been Most Helpful In The Channel And Have Exercised The Greatest Amount Of Knowledge And Understanding About VisualBasic And Programming In General..

Things Too Avoid Or How Not To Be A LaMeR

• Asking the Same Question Over and Over and Over and Over .....
  
• Asking If You Can Ask A Question
  
• Asking If Anyone Can Help You Before Anyone Knows What You Want
  
• Asking For Any file that comes On The CD
  
• Doing Anything Even Remotely Related To WareZ Trading
  
• Extolling The Virtues Of Delphi (Go To #Delphi They Love That)
  
• Asking Extremely Stupid Questions That Can Be Found In the Help File In 2 Seconds
  
• Asking for Decompliers or source code to released apps
  
• Asking people to write a sample app for you so you can understand a problem - please People are busy enough just doing work for themselves.
  
• Asking questions about your code that are totally unrelated to VB - asking how to stop a car at a red light in a traffic simulation has no place in this channel.
