>...sometimes don't like it if such suggestions are made

I'll admit to occasionally being frustrated by comments like this. It's important to remember that not everyone is looking to learn. Sometimes, they just need to get something done ASAP.

It's a bit idealistic to assume that everyone has time to learn the canned solution. The real world doesn't always allow for that.

True. I did not mean it as an absolute statement. I did say above:

>I sometimes try to implement

It's each person's call, on a case-by-case basis. Had just shared my view with that newb, thinking it might help him.

Sure, but it's still a valid advice that might be helpful to others.
