I know who you are, Ken. :)
In any case, my curiosity was really spurred by the intervention of someone
who has not, in the past 18 months or so, posted to this list. I can check
the archives back to the beginning, but that's really not my point at all.
I do think that this list is often out of hand - and it's been up and down
like this since I've been a member of it. Sometimes, the flames are wild,
other times, we're all quite nice. The only thing that doesn't change is
Ed. :) (It was even more fun when we had two Ed's!)
In any case, a list for nice questions about Exchange is fine. Maybe even a
newbie, or Jr. Admin list. The fact is, and you know this, that the stuff
that's covered in the FAQ is covered in the FAQ. If someone wants to pay me
to do consulting, I'll be happy to bring their business to the company where
I work.
When I first joined this list, it had a reputation. It is what it is. I
miss Peter's quiet interventions, but, other than that, I think we're just
fine.
I'm rambling though. Later...

Missy,
You will probably find few by me as well other than NAI/McAfee related. I
don't know about much else:) I have *learnt* quite alot from this list, you
and Ed especially. Larry does bring up a good point though. This list does
have a reputation that does not seem to occur on other lists that these same
people are on (E2K list for one).
As for the value of a list that Larry hosts, all I can speak to is the one
that he set up for Scripting. He is every bit as knowledgeable about
Scripting and SMS (as has already been pointed out) as anyone on this list
is about Exchange. He gives of his time and skills and requires no more than
you or Ed would in return.
Only time will tell if there is a need for what Larry is proposing.
As for why you do not see many post by me on this list, I have always tried
to follow the advise found in JOB 13:5 "If only you would be altogether
silent, for you that would be wisdom." NIV

Gee, Larry, I can't find any posts by a Larry Duncan (or a "Duncan, Larry"
or a "Duncan, Lawrence" or a "Lawrence Duncan") in the archives that I
currently have available. But they only go back to February 2000, so I
guess you've been lurking for a couple years.
Your answers below remind me of a certain smarmy congressman who was on TV a
week or so ago. What's the whole answer here? I don't believe we're
getting it.
You're free to start your own list. I do hope it's a success. I don't
think I'll be playing though. If I tire of this list, I can go visit the
E2K one that Martin hosts, or the Sunbelt Software list, or the newsgroups,
all of which offer additional Exchange information.
Missy

See inline comments.
Besides, Larry; Aren't you an SMS guru? Thanks for the compliment. Yes,
SMS is my core competency. But any mail list is more than one person.

Yes, in the past I have. However, I'm on of the many that is turned off by
the tone of the group. As such, I've changed my settings to webbased only
and I now only refer to it on an as-needed basis.
You're not trying to steal subscribers to a competing service, are you?
<HONEST RESPONSE>Steal? Steal? Are these users owned by you? The Internet
offers a vast
number of resource for people to use. I'm now providing a more user
friendly environment for passing information regarding Exchange. If the
users come, that that's their choice and perhaps a signal to this group
that you can be excellent without attitude.</HONEST RESPONSE>
