Um, no thats not what I was saying.

Its how the advice is given thats important try thinking in terms of that kids 
game (I cant remember what its called) warmer, warmer no colder, colder.

Rather than saying "Pete what your looking for is /dev/scanners/cuecat" (I've 
fixed the xsane permissions problem by the way).

I'd start of by saying "Pete have a look in /dev bearing in mind its the 
scanner permissions your after"

So Pete starts by looking in /dev *warmer* "Ah theres scanners I'll look in 
there" *warmer still*

I'm no expert by any definition but a gentle nudge in the right direction is 
better for both parties I'll of *had* to learn where it is and you won't have 
given me it on a plate.

On occasions theres no option but to give specific advice, like I say theres 
no rules and everyone has there own way of doing things.

Everyones a winner :-)
