[ND] I think your hardware posts are pretty tedious -
[RZ] but they are on-topic....
Yes, I agree, and didn't say that they weren't. However, there is a
ql-developers list for hardware ?
So, effectively, all the hardware stuff in ql-users *is* OT in that respect
- no-one has complained about that.

And ql-developers for hardware :o)

Maybe. I *have* to subscribe to a 'new virus alert' list at work, and there
are new MS virii almost every hour or so. If we had a short warning on all
of these then we'd have no room for any QL stuff. As far as I remember, the
conversation was to do with someone on the list sending virusses out to the
rest of us. Very on topic to me - and a few others. I agree that general
discussion that 'goes on and on' is OT.

Indeed, and when we all get over to Linux the world will be a better place.
But then the script kiddies will just change over as well, and we will have
the Linux equivalent to the current MS situation. Mind you, security holes
should be filled in quicker ....

>> It is their choice to use this program so I am sure they can deal with
it.
Not always. I have no choice at work and that is where I am when I'm using
this list. It *has* to be Outlook, warts and all.

Norman.
