Hej Minkki,
Jag b�rjade prenumerera p� en lista f�r listowners och jag s�nder det h�r
till dig eftersom det handlade om just det som jag f�rs�kte beskriva
h�romnyssens.
F�r �vrigt s�g jag att du �versatt ledaren i K��nt�j�. Den var helt bra s�
n�r som p� tv� tre obest�mda former som borde ha varit best�mda. Enligt min
�sikt.
Fr�ga: g�r du hocket gratis (som jag gjorde en g�ng i v�rlden) eller f�r du
betalt? Och i det senare fallet, redigt eller en sk�rv bara?
H�r kommer brevet:

It probably shouldn't be necessary, but it seems like most of the problems
on my lists come from users who don't know how to use the tools they have
now, and most of them are computer neophytes.
!!!!!Allts� detta:
They don't know how to use an editor, so they send 2 or 3 line posts followed
by the ENTIRE message they're responding to, and sometime the entire
message that THAT one responded to, etc.
We get posts that contain redundant data in HTML format, posts with
Microsoft TNEF attachments on them, whatever the Bill Gates those are, etc.
Somehow, I don't know that making OUR tools smarter is always the best
approach, because I don't know that providing smarter tools makes for
smarter users.
We require new drivers to demonstrate some minimal competence behind the
wheel before giving them a license, at times I have to wonder if some
kind of minimal computer competency test shouldn't be necessary before
giving them a mouse, keyboard, and modem.
Ahhh, it's been a LOOOOONG day, thank God my vacation starts next week!
