You are being taken to task not because you've posted, but because you're complaining about what other people are posting, in a case where the posts you're complaining about are quite relevant to the subject of the list, even if they are of no interest to you, personally. There are lots of Mac-specific posts to this list, and those are of no use to me. I just delete them. Sometimes long threads erupt on subjects that interest me none at all. I just delete them. I don't feel any urge to lecture the list membership on how they aren't posting things that interest ME-ME-ME!!!!! Last of all, the people who are participating most actively in the threads you think irrelevant to Finale are also the exact same people who contribute the most to Finale-specific threads. So far as I know, all *you* contribute is complaints about what other people post. So, comparing track records, I'd certainly cut some slack to people who post lots of useful information and occasionally go off on subjects that bore me to tears. I see no reason to cut any slack for someone whose only known appearances on the list are to register complaints about the content that everyone else is providing for the complainer. If you find the current threads on the list boring, START THREADS ON TOPICS THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO YOU. Otherwise, you're just going to generate scolding posts like this one, pointing out how enormously childish you are being by complaining and contributing nothing constructive. -- David W.
