I'm always very confused when you post. I always appreciate the information, but I'm always left wondering if there's a lack of appreciation from others in your life.
generally speaking, a community exists to share resources or a common burden. In our case, this community exists to exchange information about setting up, maintaining, and modifying emu servers.
as i am starting out, my contributions are minimal; but to what limited usefulness I may be, I endeavour to share the bits of knowledge that I've gleaned when others have asked questions where I think I may facilitate their success.
In places where I am failing, I ask questions (typically after poking around a little). If the answer comes back from the community, "we're not sure how to do that", that's a risk I'm willing to take and will still appreciate any insights people give.
I would encourage you not to be offended when people ask questions and seek help, especially when I've not demanded or blamed anyone or otherwise shifted responsibility for this undertaking to anyone else. I have stated my hatred of C++, and if that causes you offense, let me apologize and state that I am not attacking the developers who continue to use this language. I do hate C++ and cannot wait for the day it's no longer used outside of educational material and museums; even still, I do appreciate the time, effort and energy being put into this project by the talented C++ devs and by other members of the community willing to share what each knows.
