Only problem with this is that all of you ( and no offence to anyone is
meant here :) then get my personal email address and I get bombarded
with emails all the time......I have had people email me at two in the
morning, becuase I posted something at 1.30 and they get angry becuase
I do not get to it until the next day.....Why, because I am sleeping.
Mind you I dont mind resellers emailing me personally with valid
problems, I'm a support guy, which means I help people. But I do think
that things need to be modereated on the list, as the list is getting
redundant with the questions that are asked ( but at the same time peer
driven support also has its own merits )......Hey majordomo, maybe when
people sign up the first message they get can tell them to think twice
before posting anything and to check the lists archives first as the
answer they seek could be there.
Just my 0.2 worth
