You do too. > By the way if somebody passing your street asking for direction you > dont answer get a map either right ? That "direction" though may very well be a simple reference to a more authoritative source of information, i.e. a map. In the specific case of programming languages, the standards or books that define the languages are the _most_ authoritative sources of information. Therefore, the reply "get yourself a good book and read it" is actually correct.
