Andy,

I remember what Diaconu has actually written:

do you think is posible to make a car-computer whit 80c51?im a student and i need help for my final project "CAR COMPUTER WHIT 80C51"......

And you wrote:

So you've chosen a final project that you're not even sure is feasible - I trust you're not comitted yet...?

Please bear in mind that the object of your final project is for you to demonstrate what you have learned during your course by completing it yourself.
We will be happy to help if you have specific problems, but the project must be substantially your own work.

Andy, Diaconu was only asking for help. He was asking for some hints. He was NOT asking you to write his final year project for him. The help Rob gave, allows Diaconu to get a feeling, whether he is able to choose this issue for his final year project. But your 'help' is only making him to feel like an idiot. And after all your 'help' you write:

Have fun!

Was this necessary? Do you think he will come back to this forum? Do you think another newbie will post here after noticing your reaction on this post?

Is it so difficult to give our newbies a warm welcome? I highly respect your knowledge and experience, Andy, but some of your replies are so unfriendly...

Sorry and best regards,

Kai
