Actually, since this list is free, and anyone can come here and ask a question, I don't think anyone has a right to say, "Don't talk to me that way".
Don't get me wrong, I don't like it much either when Mr. Ely gets his panties in a wad and goes hog out on me, but then I also don't like it when someone signs onto the list and asks, "How can I change the admin account password?", which has been asked at least 500 times and the answer is out there to be found. I have a very good friend whom I was managing and he had this really bad habit of always asking me "How big can a DIM field be?" (Extra credit if you know a. What language we are talking about, b. What the answer is) I used to just spout the answer off without thinking about it, then I decided one day to make him look it up. He got quite upset with me, and said, "You know, why don't you just tell me?" To which I replied, "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." While I do my best to be nice, that doesn't mean I expect others to. As a matter of fact, saying that they should is really placing my standards of conduct upon them, something I don't have the right to do, and neither do you. While if we all lived in a perfect world, people would never get upset and say cross things, this isn't the perfect world, and some people, and yes even those that have the greatest knowledge of all, sometimes just say mean things, my heartfelt suggestion is either learn to deal with it, or unsubscribe from the list.

Being nice has nothing to do with it. Being big assholes (not specifically anybody) has everything to do with it. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Sadler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 11:03 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Virus Attack ?? When signing up for this list, I think an email should be sent first to the person wishing to join that states, "If you haven't done your homework, don't expect to be treated with kid gloves!". Hell, I remember my first question on this list, I was told succinctly by Ed Crowley to read the FAQ, check the knowledgebase, and if I still had questions, then ask them, BUT UNDER NO MEANS SHOULD I EVER ASK SUCH A STUPID QUESTION AGAIN WITHOUT FIRST TRYING TO FIND THE ANSWER. The long and the short of it is this, (Paraphrashing ED), if you want to be treated nice, call PSS. If you want the answers, first try and find out the information on your own, read the FAQ, search the archives, look into technet, then and only then, ask your question here. I guess what I'm saying, is life is hard, and sometimes ppl get a bit tired of answering questions that are quite easily answered if you only do the research first.

This has NEVER been the Be Kind to the Clueless List. ALL members are expected to do some research before asking a question, and are expected to actually CONTRIBUTE to the list when their area of expertise is crossed. If you have no area of expertise, you need to find the Care Bear List. Once upon a time, this list had several self-appointed enforcers that kept it that way. As it happened, they were also amongst the most eloquent, best-informed contributors. Now that they've gone on to greener pastures, we read more and more questions like "What happens if I pull the plug out of the back of the server? Is that bad?" Perhaps we should put a fund together and pay CJ to come back every few days.... Dale L.

Clue 1: Exchange Admin program. "HELP" menu, "Help" topic, "Index" option, type "tracking" and look at all the pretty little entries that come on up. Clue 2: Go on a course Clue 3: Hire someone competent to administer your Exchange system. Clue 4: Read the fscking FAQ.

Thanks, Jorge Cardenas. -----Original Message----- From: Waters, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 7:30 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Virus Attack ?? track the message. We have gotten one of these, and it came from the outside. The text was a message undeliverable, which comes from system attendant not the postmaster. When you track it, you will see who it really has come from. Then tell the sender they have the Klez and now would be a good time to get some A/V software and keep it up to date.
