This sort of commentary is not helpful and its not civilized. I have been in
the industry for many years. I do know how to "program". I have designed and
implemented systems far more complex then GNOME. However, I am not ashamed
to admit I find working with GNOME very difficult. There is very little
documentation for the gnome libraries. That makes starting out difficult for
someone like me, never mind someone who is less experienced. If you do not
like questions like this, why don't you add your experience to the
documentation project. At least phrase your answers in a way that makes you
sound like a member of a civilized society.

Most importantly, take some advice from my mom, if you have nothing nice to
say "keep you mouth shut" :o)
