I usually lurk on the sidelines, offer help off-line when I can and delete the junk that seems to come all too often from this board.
This group used to be about EDI in all its forms. EDI as in advice, EDI as in help on doing something EDI related and EDI job listings. Now it's turned into flame wars and name calling and this type of 'he said, I said'. I saw the first post by Delaney, looked at it and deleted it. Who cares? I am not the moderator and do not care to be. I just want to suggest that we go back to the original purpose of this group, namely EDI. As another member says, my .02 only. If you disagree, then delete it. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Delaney Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 1:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] Is this less of an eye-sore?
