Now I am not fond of having to write such messages, but it would seem that another one is in order so here we go again.
Only three people have permission to complain publicly on here about threads going on too long ETC and one of them is me. The other two are Bob Gilman and Rick Justice. People are supposed to contact us privately using the owner address when something in their mind needs resolving and then the three of us will deal with what ever it is at that time. This way we are the heavies so to speak. Besides if we were to allow just anybody to voice their opinion that something has gone on too long or whatever the case might happen to be then the list would degenerate in to a chaotic state in very short order. Some of you long time members probably recall once or twice my having to pull the main switch as I call it which turns off the list until I decide to turn it back on again. Granted traffic stops cold stopping the flaming but unfortunately it also stops any and all functional traffic. Then nobody posts at all during that time. Now I'm not thinking of that at this point, but what I am saying is that there will be order or there will be no list. Pretty self explanatory I should think. So if you have a question that falls within the guidelines then ask it and Heaven help the person who looks down on you for asking it.

Hi Neil, Yes, this is the place to get answers to simple questions & don't let the email of any one person sway you in a different direction. Sometimes people don't realize the consequences of a post to the list they make until it's too late & I'm sure this person is feeling that. This list has almost 700 members & sometimes members seem to forget that many of its members are not as experienced as they are so, keep your questions coming. Take care.

Hello David Moore and Everyone Else : Many of us are not as sophisticated as you are. We need a place to get answers to simple questions. I thought this was the place, but your comments make me wonder, if that is the case. If I get tired of a particular subject, I just delete the message, without even reading it. Just an idea. Thanks.

There are almost 700 people on this list so there is no way in creation I can possibly keep everybody happy. Granted some threads do drone on a bit longer than I would even care to follow but I do that never the less to make sure things stay on topic. There have been times in the past where we have stopped threads from being a never ending story, and this particular issue would have probably fell in that category soon as well. So now that it has been made an issue let's move on to the next major disaster and let this fade into the past. This is coming from a man who has a lot going on in his life besides managing a mailing list. Most days I monitor things to make sure it is on topic and everybody is getting along. Beyond that at times that's all I can offer. Certainly this past week is a prime example, never the less everybody move on to the next problem and let me get back to the New York Rangers game.

I think the list is getting from what it is suppose to be. For the last week, all people are talking about is how wonderful it is to have Google on the desktop. I press alt + CTRL + I for IE and M for fs. I have Google set as my default search, so there I am in the edit box. One day is fine to talk about these things but a week? Also, I just can't hold back anymore from reading about this Insert C in word. It hasn't work since word 2007, and that ends that subject. Seeing spripts in a message, that is knowing something. What finally got me to send this message, is because of the person that asked how to get to the address bar in IE. That is like getting on this list and asking what is 2 + 2. This is not the purpose of this list. If you take a minute to look through help materials questions can get answered. I love this list; I have learned so much concerning security that best works with JAWS, Working with audio and video, and best of all, I never knew that you could convert Youtube videos into Mp3. I am really taking advantage of that, and that is what usually what is on this list. It's just for the last few days, people are talking about very elementary stuff day after day. I love you guys, but could we talk about more than putting Google on the desktop and this Insert C?
