hi,
It wouldn't be a good idea of kicking students out as some of you have mentioned.
should it really matter if a student asks a Homework question? The student can find the answers in other forums too if he can't find an answer here. What i mean by this is that the way this forum is working right now is the best... most of the times if there is a HW(homework)problem the admin is deleting the thread or closing it... that's fair... Totally loosing the students is not a good idea...

Sometimes there are topics which are not related to 8051/52 but still it would be great if we can reply to them in a polite way saying this is an 8052 forum and if possible give some suggestions as most of them here are not just pure 8052 gurus but also have expertise in various other fields..

well reading sriharsha reply "I being an amateur in both Electronics and MC, feel I cannot offer any serious help to the needy and I should keep my mouth shut and learn "
how good it will be if he doesn't speak out on this forum..he might have some good suggestions which might be unique...If there are mistakes there are lots of people (gurus) to correct them and that's the way we learn.

most of the times there are questions which are too silly / basic for you(gurus) to answer that may be true, but imagine how many freshers are comming daily to become a member of this 8052 elite family they sure will have basic questions, it will be really helpful if these questions can be addressed but of course if they don't find answers in the search button...

keep the forum going...

regards,
