Let's see: +1 compliment -1 completely unprovoked and incomprehensible backswipe I guess I'm about even today. Thanks guys.
Here we go again... Seriously George, I've been doing this forum thing for almost 20 years now, having created one of the very first online forums for Pick at CompuServe. After I've produced tens of thousands of forum postings, blogs, articles, wiki pages, books, presentations, and freeware offerings, and after I've served on many MV-related volunteer projects and as a board member with more than one user group - can you really say with conviction "all your namesake does is tout"? (Hmm, was that a tout?) Is it really that offensive to you, even as a product reseller yourself, that some of us can function harmoniously as both contributing community members And as vendors within the same community? Do you really need to inject your own beliefs of intent (to solicit) into content where it didn't exist? And if I do get a chance to pay my bills this month because someone appreciates my technical prowess or even my good looks (hmm, was that a tout?) does it really take that much from you all the way across the ocean there? This forum appears to be more sensitive than ANY that I have Ever been in. Frankly I don't think the forum is sensitive. I do think it's just a few people who seem to take offense on behalf of hundreds. Please, get over it. Let's end this here. Your eyes don't get burned out by an unmarked ad and you don't need to read "ad" between the lines of every post that has a specific author's name. And to avoid disappointing anyone who actually likes touting, I give you a new blog/article: "MV to/from RDBMS - Not as tough as it sounds" nospamNebula-rnd.com/blog/tech/mv/2011/04/mv-rdbms2.html No, no ads, sorry, it's a complete free solution to a common problem. No products to sell or even insidious freeware. Unfortunately it's a completely DIY solution, though now that I think about it I did offer assistance for someone who doesn't want to do it themselves. To paraphrase the immortal words of Charlton Hestin: Damn me all to hell for once again posting a free solution when people fully expect me to be begging for money .... without really doing so. *SIGH* T "as in Chuck's Twin" ;) > From: George R Smith > From Wol > >In the case of my namesake, who has a habit of > >responding to a post with genuine information, then > >sticking an >(appropriate) ad on the end of it, then > >not putting [ad] in the subject is fine. > > > >Bull you know what, that is all your namesake does is > >tout.
