Yikes!!! First I have noticed this syndrome on some lists where people tend to become so used to regularly asking a question they wont even bother to do something when someone will invariably answer a question for them on a list, or web portal whatever. I have barely posted to this list but I have very carefully followed this list for over a month and on the weekends when I actually have time I actually read 90% of the posts here.. and some of the time a singular message or thread gets a little beaten but its no reason to get all upset or annoyed, just politely tell people that the thread has gotten a little overboard and really honestly I have in my life never seen all but the highest of volume threads complain about anything but the most off topic posts. I have watched the Linux Kernel Mailing list tolerate much worse than something like this. LKM has more traffic than CF-Talk FuseBox lists put toghether easily. It is not baneful or hurting anyone and this is actually on topic just a little redundant (I still noticed useful information being passed along throughout, until the last maybe two or three posts which actually talked about off topic stuff, and I am guilty of posting one of those) You know, if you take everything to seriously its bad for your health (for real ;) Most everyone is always busy working and some people receive just tons of email, I think everyone knows how that is. Random Example: I bet Hal actively participating in everything that he does gets an extreme amount of mail and ive watched him patiently explain every single question that was asked relative to this thread, he even posted something Funny and a little off topic!! There is just no reason to be excited okay. It gives this entire list a real negative feeling when the first few posts I see that are truly off topic are complained about and asked to cease and desist. Oh and I never accept anything anyone tells me right away question everything or your always bound to be a little behind the other guy ;) Thats how I got into programming in the first place, one of those "How does this work questions that shapes your career for the next long while :)" Jeremy Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Brian P.
