JaMi: Where do you find the time to write all this useless drivel? I certainly don't have time to read it. Time to install the JaMi filter..... straight to "Deleted Items" for you :)

I come up with 19 emails (about half of which are unread), under 6 different subjects, none of which have a subject remotely related, although I do find 2 with a subject that simply states DXP, dated 9/5/02, both unread, that do appear to address the subject. With all due respect, I have just installed DXP (a week ago today), and until then, I certainly have not been following all of the threads that deal with DXP, especially when the subject just reads "DXP". I do not have time to read everything that goes thru the forum, as 1425 unread emails should indicate, and unless the subject line has something to catch my attention, I may never read it. However, when DXP ate my file, that got my attention. I still have not found anything else that addresses the issue, unless it was in the other 17 emails that appear to really be unrelated (although I have not read them either). Firstly, please don't take things for granted, especially when it comes to attributing motives to me, and the next time I start a thread on something that has already has been discussed, rather than assume that I have seen it, please simply say "so and so discussed that here a few weeks back, and you might want to read his post . . . ". It surely would cut down on a lot of the excess here in the forum, and I would not waste my time carrying on a dialog when someone is just pulling my chain. Secondly, if this (the 2 emails I found in the search) was a warning to others in the forum about DXP changing file associations, which was designed to let all of the Protel 99 SE users out there to beware of DXP opening your Protel 99 SE files, then it failed miserably to do that with such a simple subject ("DXP"). Perhaps the others that you are thinking about, have a little more attention getting warning. Actually, in view of this last paragraph, I think that it is safe to say that Protel 99 SE users were not in fact previously notified of the "problem", as I am sure that most of actually now are. You know I really am not an Adam Henery (AH) all of the time ( just most of the time), and I really do not always have ulterior motives. Thanks for the input anyway, JaMi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wojciech Oborski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 6:42 AM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Warning to DXP Users re P99SE files > JaMi, > > <snip> > > The point here is that the purpose of my original post was to warn other > > users so that the same thing doesn't happen to them.
