....but then we've come full circle, haven't we? Nobody on cf-community is under any obligation to "help or [try to] help out" and, in fact, may very well be just "some random person who happened to find the list."
So, as I stated in my original response to your original post (which again, yes I did actually read)...if deleting posts by somebody who you don't see actively "helping" others gets your panties in a bunch...then, as I originally suggested, maybe you're on the wrong list. And yes, many people on cf-talk are hesitant to subscribe to cf-community for that very reason. A huge number of off-topic posts, or specifically, non-cf related posts. I haven't seen any 'membership requirements' that suggest posting to cf-community is a privelege restricted to coldfusion developers or members of cf-talk. A majority of cf-community members are actually cf-talk (and/or other HoF lists). But I've seen a few names that are unique to community (or that I just don't recall ever seeing on cf-talk). So you may very well end up hitting 'delete' a number of times...and you may end up doing so for messages posted by folk that have never stepped foot onto cf-talk. If that's an issue for you...I say again (and use your phrase from your original post), maybe you're on the wrong list. It seemed (and still does) that you were/are working under a misconception. I tried to clear that up. Not quite sure how that made ma a "smart ass"...but I think that I've now put forth enough effort and will bow out of the thread and allow you and the gang to continue your political non-cf related conversation.
