I sympathise with you, but people ask questions where others will answer. If someone subscribes to several lists to get different pieces of information then they will have to read or ignore more emails just to get what you want. We are victims of our own helpfulness. I don't like the alternative, which is to be less helpful :-(
A suggestion that has been made in the past is to prefix all posts not relating to SB equipment with OT: and adding it to posts that you reply to that don't use it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Herrmann Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 10:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Cell phone tower - redeux My point is that I joined this list to find Smartbridges information, not how to build and market towers to cell companies. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George King Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 8:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Cell phone tower - redeux I didn't start this thread, however some of us actually do use towers in our deployment of smartBridges.

In an earlier post it was mentioned not to expect this? Any one involved in such a lease and would share the tower & lease specs of that with me on or off list?
