I am trying something, i am part way through a large database driven 
application. I then run into a snag, I know what i want to happen but I don't 
know which way to do it for the best, so I ask - or have I misunderstood the 
purpose of mailing lists?. If you had read my posts properly, I asked to be 
pointed in the right direction, not for someone to do it for me. I then 
responded to a request by a responder for further details which I supplied. I 
find your tone condescending, patronising and offensive. I don't ask many 
questions on this list, and then only when I absolutely can't find an answer 
elsewhere, so in future I will look even harder elsewhere. The zope community 
needs new members, if I had your knowledge I would be trying to foster better 
realationships with fellow users.
