Define 'basic knowledge'

OK, when some-one posts a question like this :

I have to concate two strings by operator "/"

Hello Experts,

I want result in this format->Smart/Kidya.
where,

Str1=Smart
Str2=Kidya

How to do with VB.Net?


I'm left wondering just what the minimum standard for entry is. The code is obviously Dim Str3 as String = Str1 & "/" & Str2.

This seems like a pretty basic beginner question, and while the guy probably would do better to buy a book, it's wrong to point the finger at someone for being new to programming, right ?

He's posted on this forum over 100 times, his other questions have been things like:

So, if you outsource your project, the guy trying to write your database code stands a chance of not even knowing how to connect two strings together. How did he get this code to work then ? Why, he copied it off the web at random, and then asked people to fix it for him until it looked like it 'sort of' worked.
