Folks, The reason Lisa asked us to stop the STC rant thread was because several people have unsubscribed in the past couple of days. That should tell us something. The more emotional the topic, the greater the risk of turning people off. The longer a thread runs, the greater the risk of turning people off.
Bill Swallow has offered an offline forum to discuss the topic. Perhaps someone would step up and do the same for the certification thread. I think anytime a thread turns into an extended dialog between just a few people, we should consider directing it offline. Any suggestions? For anyone else who may be thinking of unsubscribing, I've considered it too. Lisa is temporarily away on personal business for a few days and will be back soon, otherwise she would've responded to the STC rant sooner. In the meantime, let's all exercise our right to use the delete key. Tom Johnson ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
