I was already expecting answers like yours

I'd expect them too if I asked poorly worded questions.

So now who doesn't speak english so well as you doesn't deserve a good answer? OK.

Then post the question in the best English you can and its Portuguese equivalent. We like people who make an honest effort.

I wasn't referring to the bad grammar, I was referring to the manner in which you were asking for help. You provide no information as to the nature of the problem, yet expect a magic answer, then get pissy when you don't get what you want. If you'd worded your query in a respectful and useful way, you would have gotten better help from the start.

Your profile says you're from Brazil.

OK.
But again, what's so wrong in giving a 'magic answer'? Why all that will of making someone work instead of just giving him the answer? I know it can be important for one in his learning process, but is it really necessary for someone that just, just needs this specific answer?
And sorry for going a bit off topic, but I'm kinda happy you know at least the language we speak here... though you probably still think we got snakes, monkeys and other animals running all around, that Amazon is next to Rio de Janeiro, that our womans walk naked in the beach, etc., like that movie you've done, I am right?

Why? Because you live in Brazil? I live in Kentucky, do you think I've got rednecks and hill billies running all around. And that people walk around barefoot while doing farmwork. Well, if you do, you're right. ;D

Because usually someone asking questions here is trying to learn to be a programmer. Just giving them the answers doesn't help them learn. You didn't say anything about not wanting to learn programming, so we just assumed that you did.

People don't learn that way.

"Now what was the value of Pi again?"
"I could tell you that. But have you heard the saying 'Give a man a fish...'"
"For Heaven's sake! Ok, I guess I have to dig up my Mathematical Tables from somewhere... No wait, I lended it to Barry."
"See what you did? You gave him a fish. Instead you..."
"Shut up! Ok, so you want to teach me to fish. What shall I do?"
"Well, you can calculate the value of Pi."
"How?"
"There are some methods. Some series converge to Pi."
"What are the series?"
"I could tell you that. But it would be like giving you a fish and..."

Really? My post got deleted? All I did was quote the answer someone gave to the original question, since it had apparently gotten lost in all the other posts.
