Hi all This is just a reminder, but please consider it formal. When somebody asks a question, if you only have a comment to make such as “Haven’t you heard of whatever”, it really would be better if you simply don’t post at all. That kind of remark is hardly helpful and does nothing to encourage the questioner to ask questions again. We all ask questions at times and we are undoubtedly all guilty of failing to explore all resources available at times. But this list exists so that people may ask questions and, by doing so, may learn and, by doing so, help others. Point somebody to a resource, by all means. But please don’t make that kind of comment in this context.
There have been a few instances recently where people have made that comment, and others besides. Until now we have not intervened, in the hope that such behaviour will cease of its own accord. However, it isn’t, and some people, unintentionally I’m sure, are coming across as a little bit arrogant. Flaming is, as we state in the list policy document viewable here: <http://www.mac-access.net/Mac-Access-Welcome.html> against list policy. I’m absolutely sure no offence is intended. However, I would request that people please desist from making those kinds of comment. If you have no positive contribution to make in response to those who ask questions, please don’t respond at all. If, on the other hand, you wish to make a comment which would help others, then by all means do so. We all make the mistake of responding too quickly, heaven only knows I’ve done it countless times and wished that I could just fall into a hole somewhere never to be seen again. The same is true of those who ask questions, and I’ve been on that side of things as well countless times. OK, that having been said, I hope that we can all coexist happily together in a spirit of mutual self-help. That is what this group exists for and we do not want any animosity on list. Thanks for your time.
