Don't you mean "too much time on their hands"? Plus, VIP is not 100% flame proof. If you ask for hacks then your going to get flamed(Thats about it though).

If you think about it, he is actually asking very intelligent questions. If you do not understand oop then it would make you wonder why someone would put a dot in the veriable name... ie

car1.tire is wierd, I would name it car1Tire or car1_tire..

and in the case of ${...} why do we need the 2nd '}' ?

Answer for the latter is, if you have coded for a long time, you just like to have conventions.. and this is just an obvious convention for someone who has programmed c/c++ for a long time. Answer to the former is more complicated; mostly because if no one has explained oop fundumentals to you, then you need that explained first before you can really understand why we need the '.'.

His confusion is easier to recognize because if I only did basic programming, I would easily think 'car1->tire' is a variable name and wonder why -> would be used...

Anyways bottom line, I like this guy =] and your help file is an amazing reference..
