What's the difference than sending an email to yourself? I personally would not send an email until I have exhausted all my options of solving my issue. I highly doubt I could send an email to a list knowing I would get no response.
I think the reason why the teddy bear idea works is because you get up and walk away from the project and think. I find that sometimes when I get stuck and I go for a walk or switch mind set to something else and then approach my project again, I sometimes find my solution. ------Original Message------ From: Steven Sacks Sender: [email protected] To: Flash Coders List ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] Mailing List Idea: Teddy Bear Sent: Nov 21, 2009 2:00 PM Legend has it that at one time the MIT student lab had a teddy bear to whom you were required to explain a programming issue you were having before you could ask the lab administrator for help. Many people, myself included, ask a mailing list about an issue we are having, and only moments after sending you figure it out before anyone responds. I'm considering starting a mailing list where there is no expectation of response, but by sending the email, you might figure out your issue, and if you don't, then you can copy and paste it to your regular mailing list. Whaddya think? ;) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Nathan Mynarcik Interactive Web Developer [email protected] 254.749.2525 www.mynarcik.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
