hi all,
i'm surprised to read such a blog
http://blog.hibernate.org/cgi-bin/blosx ... pport.html

Who are the guys able to say something bad about the free support around hibernate ?
Those guys are silly and pure idiots!!!

This project is free, as free as 100% of the open source projects.
But you know what? it is one of the 5% surviving, and the most popular with struts!
Why? because of people like Gavin, Christian, Emmanuel, Max, Steve, David, Michael ... Baliukas, Brenuart, Dima and much more.
These guys are helping us for FREE.
So everyone has to understand that they sometimes can get nervous when the response to a problem is written in page 5 of the reference guide.
It will always be easier to ask about help here than reading the doc! than searching on the forum! than getting the EXCELLENT Hibernate in Action written FOR US. But please respect these steps:
1- read and search
2- respect the red card saying "When asking questions, give at least: ..."
3- don't forget to thank the guys who helped you, it's nothing and it helps our community to keep cool
4- the most important, come once a day here to help another user.

I've made 900 posts in 1.5 year, i can easily remember an idiot problem i had and the hours those guys spent to help me.
I've learned all about hibernate and more about patterns, best practices here than everywhere else!
In 900 posts, there are probably 150 problems the team helped me, 150 stupid things i said and the other, i only tried to help others, please do the same and contribute to this succesfull project!


as a friend always says: peace.
