You said... It's people like you that make me hate this industry. We are not machines. We are not computers. We are human beings. We make mistakes. We are imperfect. Be nice. There is a nice way to say what you want to say. I wouldn't have said anything, but I thought I should make you aware of how you come off to those of us who are on this list who are not arrogant and inconsiderate. Maybe you can learn something. I reply.. 1) The information is at the tail of every message he got. 2) he chose to subscribe 3) when he chose, the info was there 4) this sort of responce in normal in a very highly technical group 5) the person this was aimed at used a professional title, (and is expected to be able to read) 6) this sort of 'unfriendlyness' is normal to ANY outsider in ANY industry. (try asking questions to a med) 7) If you don't love the tech., live breath and eat the tech., you are in the wrong business, go into sales. 8) DON'T SPAM THE CHANNEL WITH NON-Firewall CHATTER!! 9) If you are in FIREWALL, you are not a human being, you are on call 7x24, you eat SPAM and PING storms, you live to kill the damn packet storms, and you know that everyone in your office just wants to download .megs I went to school to study 'this industry', so I would know what I was doing. I've been working in 'this industry' since 1980, and I still love every minute that I am away from the lusers, and inside of the machine. To keep up to date, I have to keep up my studies. This is one place that I can know what is the lastest features/bugs. I don't feel like wading through FLUFF. (I did that in my BBS days, and when I tried m$ manuals) Again, if you are at least a little intellegent, most of the best in 'this industry' will give you the code off their PALMS, just don't ask them to comment it for you. That is an exercise for the pupil. But don't ask them to be friendly, they are giving you what they can afford, knowledge. Go ask a salesman for a pretty pile of words. of course, Richard Drennan should have sent his message in private, but it was rather amusing. - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
