so many times i had to -1 the answer and even more than that i had to -1 the question. there was a question about PHP basics and a claim that author could not find any tutorials for PHP beginners - how ridiculous is that? -1s are not the problem of SO - it's the influx of low quality questions and answers that is. SO is not the tutorial collection, more over it's not the place where people should expect someone to create a tutorial upon request. you do have to google your question before asking on SO.
