The short cut is the long path.

Only for curiosity, could you clarify that thought?

Let's phrase it differently: what would be the reward for people spending
time teaching you the basics of photography? What would they get out of
it? self-esteem? but there are charities and organizations with a much
higher return for that. A better situation in some afterlife? but we don't
all believe in an afterlife (some people here should even start by getting
a life:-). In fact the reward is mutual enrichment by exchanging ideas...
which doesn't mean slapping a picture in the forum and expecting comments.
So, when you post a picture, tell us also what you were trying to achieve,
why did you take this picture, what do you find nice in it (because I
assume you aren't posting all your shots, but only the best ones). You'll
interest people, get more answers, and even more usable advice since
people will understand better what you are trying to do.

Another way to see it is to consider that newsgroups aren't places to talk
about a given subject, but places where people with a common interest
gather and talk (which explains why they often stray off-topic).

That's a good and humorous understanding of the issue.
