Indeed! I agree that there is no reason to do people's homework for them, but there has been a strong tendency in this newsgroup to discourage elementary questions in general. We should ask ourselves who this newsgroups is for. Only for experts or at least proficient prolog users, or also for beginners? If we accept beginners, then we should also be prepared to answer simple questions without remarks like "you should read book X by Y before opening your mouth". -- Lars-Henrik Eriksson Internet: lhe@sics.se Swedish Institute of Computer Science Phone (intn'l): +46 8 752 15 09 Box 1263 Telefon (nat'l): 08 - 752 15 09 S-164 28 KISTA, SWEDEN Fax: +46 8 751 72 30
