I concur with Charles Punch! I've received over 60 e-mails in 2 days since
I applied to have them sent. Many were repetive and far beyond "newbie"
understanding" . Screen them if you can or remove me from your mailing list.
Thx Chuck

to technical Q & A, but was just another "inane reply." You are practicing
the very thing you are complaining about. The social acceptance of Open
Source is connected in many ways to the technical problems. I would like to
see problems prevented, rather than letting them keep springing up and then
fixing them with technology. That is what Microsoft has been selling us for
years and it is time for a change. If this list is specifically for
technical solutions, Is there any rule that specifies this, or is it just
your own "inane" opinion.
