This topic is raised once a month by someone from India with no "search" skills - please check the list for similar questions.

Mr. Hambley,

I am sorry to say this that I didn't post regarding Rspec examples
just for fun.

I was really new to that and I thought that some one would guide me
with more examples, better examples.

But, it is really bad on your part to comment that people from India
post without "searching" anything.

If you can help, you post a reply in a good way, otherwise please
don't take it into consideration.

You should neither give such type of answers to anybody nor degrade
any country.

For your kind information, I got understood how to test my
applications using rspec.

One should always be polite as much as he can even though he knows so
much.

Thanks for your wonderful response.

Take care!!

Lee's frustration is not groundless. In my few weeks on this list, I have noticed a lot of requests for basic information that could easily be found with a simple search.

It seems to me that complaining about it here is not going to help, though, because future offenders are not reading yet.

Perhaps a canned response would help us handle these requests without sucking up too much of our attention.

How about:

http://rspec.info has best information for learning rspec. It is how I got started. If you need personalized direction, there are a number of members of this list who would be happy to provide training services.

What say you?

I completely agree with your idea, also the group homepage should have a few ground rules perhaps, we have something similar on the Capistrano group. http://groups.google.co.uk/group/capistrano/

Its a real shame Google groups doesn't have better "first time poster" rules, for such things.

Aalso for public record; Hanuma emailed me personally accusing me of racism, I apologise if I offended anyone else on the list, but I feel my observations were valid, we have similar problems on the Capistrano mailing list with frequent requests for basic information, or basic problems - but in our case (as most will agree) - we do indeed have a documentation problem.

Absolutely. The general problem is certainly real. OTOH, bringing
the poster's country into it was probably unnecessary. We get just as
many of these from the US and any other country with a lot of software
going on.

I loved that 'Let me google that for you' thing that I remember Dave
replying with once.

I did have a crack at writing some 'ground rules' a while back after
we had quite a bit of chump-traffic:

http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/get-in-touch

It would be good to have a single URL we can reply with when people
send these kind of feckless requests. Maybe the problem with that page
above is that the first line is a link to the mailing list -- should
we put that at the bottom of the page?!

cheers,
Matt

That would be me. Done.

Anyone is free to update the http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/get-in-touch
wiki page.

Cheers,
David

David, great quick response, thanks - lets hope our action condenses the nonsense round here.
