MDP>> Although it may not have bitten you yet, please don't devalue the

CS> Actually Marck, I don't consider that my comments in any way
CS> devalued *any* advice given by *anyone*.

Well, in these cases I think it's always wiser for folks with pro-ZA
comments to sit back until the recipient of the anti-ZA advice reports
back with a "that fixed it" (in which case the biting of tongue was
well placed) or "no change" in which case the "well ZA works fine
here" retorts can come flooding in.

CS> All I posted was my personal opinion based on my personal

I know and understand that. However, as Roelof said, where 20 people
run it, 3 may have a problem. IMHO it's no good for 17 people to flood
the 3 with "ZA works well for me" reports when for those 3 it's never
going to work right!

CS> If personal experiences and opinions are not welcome on this list,
CS> then perhaps you should post to that effect in the list rules.

That's not what I meant, and I think you know that.

Someone has a problem. The problem correlates to having used ZA on
that computer and exactly matches the profile of old reports to that
effect. Your opinion, although valid for you, was outside of 1) the
problem 2) the experience and 3) was in danger of devaluing the advice
being given by effectively saying "Hey, don't listen to them - I don't
have that problem". Those may not have been your words but that was
the implication. Hence my saying "devalued". I'm sorry if you feel
affronted by that, but I have to give the person with the problem full
space to attempt to fix it without being distracted too far by those
"it works fine here" reports.
