Sometimes I want to do something differently than the "standard method." Asking for help when you do this can be returned with "Do it how everybody else does it." That's not helpful to anybody. 4. It shows my ignorance on some subjects. 4a. I do understand why people do it (for humor and simplicity), but I dislike getting a lmgtfy.com response. 5. I've accidentally hijacked other people's topics. Oops. ... and more. Thus, I try to only ask the important questions. I don't usually have the time to watch my lists all day, so a detailed conversation isn't always possible. I really do like asking the list for opinions on things, mainly so I can see what the "wisdom of the crowd" takes on various issues or products. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
