Or how about instead of spoon feading people as you put it give the full of AO (or those who are interested)homework so to speak like say if it was codeing in C direct people to a C tutorial link and tell them to write up small programs and stuff or if it was networking give people a few chapters of tcp/ip to read and test them on it it would be a good learning experience and maybe a new way to rank members at AO other than the antipoints system ? thoughts ...feedback....or just a plain ole **** idea
