good show barnam - I agree. Passing of knowledge is a good thing.

I see it in my job everyday - where communication shuts down because everyone wants job security. Unfortunately - Don't know if that will ever change overall. I'm in the IT industry and it is well known that in the US tons of jobs are going overseas - especially to India. That scares a lot of people - including me. But it also drives me to become a better - and more educated - worker.

Usually I'm all for open source - tends to be the best type of material (software and other intellectual property, etc.) and leads to higher quality and more creativity.

as it applies to this site - if someone watches a tut or is hand-fed material - so what? If it is complex enough they won't "really" learn it unless they are either very talented in the first place or actually put an effort to really learn it anyways.

If I'm not making sense it's cause I need to get to bed - long long day.

cheers.
