At this point Chris Scharff is right.. a bit rude perhaps.. but right.. At some other points he was a bit rude too but I think he was right again..
He made me laugh.. I think you're taking it to serious to be an admin.. It's a hell of a job and humor is the only way to survive. For ppl who aren't admins some of the talk on this or any other list sounds rude.. but I guess it's not that bad at all. Or perhaps I'm just working in this field to long to know how ppl should talk to each other.
If the posting has something to do about pets then I'm using the "delete" button.. So even that button has a perpose :-)
Have fun,
B.

Absolutely - a reply with a link or just a single word is a wonderful thing if it actually helps and folks should take some initiative on their own. I am only commenting on some of the posts that are downright rude and uncalled for - the playful banter can be kind of interesting though.Jeff -----Original Message----- From: B. van Ouwerkerk [mailto:ouwerkerk92@;zonnet.nl] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 6:35 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: RBL's - Please Get over it I don't think this or any other tech related list is hostile towards newcomers. On Linux related lists (about 98% of all lists I'm subscribed to) it's usually enough to tell what you did to solve your problem. Explain you did search the archives, used google, searched the M$ KB (for M$ related topics) and you really did what you could to find information. Seriously, a question with detailed information and showing you did your best to solve your problem is getting a better answer then one showing you didn't do a thing. Remember.. it's mostly your problem and you search for help from other admins who don't get any payment. Nobody should feel offended if the answer is just a link to the information you're looking for. Read the following information. It's written by a guy who codes on Linux.. but this information is also interesting for others. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html I think I saw it in another reply too.
