Nicolas, dictonary.com: FLAME
Computer Slang. an *angry*, *critical*, or *disparaging* electronic message, as an e-mail or newsgroup post. Sorry but it was a flame - and then you came back and did it again. All I know is that I winced when I saw that. Dissing a third party tool without allowing the developer to respond and allowing him to help you is not constructive. This is a friendly list. Remember we're all developers in the same boat here, these words go far and wide around the world (and sit there forever) and it doesn't take much to turn a potential customer off of making a purchasing discussion. It could happen to you. The golden rule, Karma, etc is at play here. As far as Posterous, it's the response system that Jerry has chosen for this product and it works quite well, and I've been subscribed for over a year, and never gotten a single spam message or promo through or by them. How do I know that? Because I routinely make up an email alias for things I sign up for. This provides two things: I can see who's spamming me, and a 'quick disconnect' from the offending site if needed. I have over 50 email addresses for this purpose. Once one signs up, one is good for any number of blogs that one desires. Subscribe to other blogs, start your own. Most ISPs will allow a number of email addresses or aliases. Finally, google mail does such a good job of filtering that the spammers will probably give up soon. It's that good. I think Jerry has said what has to be said, and it's a "master class" in how to treat customers. I hope your future customers can look forward to the same calm, cool, response. ------------------------- Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/8/8 Nicolas Cueto <nicon...@gmail.com> > Defense shields coming up... > > Let's be clear -- I was not flaming or bashing Jerry's work at all. > Why else, as Brian observed, would I return each time for more > punishment?
