I’m sure he was lying about the caps thing…

lazy newbies are the worst…

he’s only 16, but still he should have some common sense…

maybe not…

Darn lazy bum raiders.

“I just started HTML yesterday, and I don’t feel like reading any tutorials or learning anything myself, so can you give me copy and paste stuff?”

Yeah I know. And even the Flash help files tell him how, and he probably could of figured it out himself if he even clicked on the “File” menu. When questions like that are asked, you know they didn’t even try for themselves.

he signed out before my last reply…

I’m now curious if he will ever come back.

I think a lot of these people are taking a class of some kind, and have a website assignment, they see Flash, and think that is cool, so they want to create a site like 2A…

I often wonder if the teachers are putting [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) as a reference site, and these people are just coming here looking for a “cheat sheet.”
