Manfred,

With all due respect I insulted no one.  Am I frustrated?  Yes, but I did not 
insult anyone.

Now I was perfectly fine with letting this go until I received your comment.  
So let me use this opportunity to make a few more comments.

Thank you for suggesting That I go somewhere else for help.  However, this is 
the Maven mailing list set up for the express purpose of getting help with this 
software.  Where else do you suggest I go?

As for the volunteer service you provide, I thank you for that service.  But 
when I am dissatisfied with the service I am getting, please don't throw in my 
face that you are a volunteer.  You made that choice.  And as a result, putting 
up with frustrated customers is something you are going to have to deal with.  
It's part of the deal you signed on to when you volunteered.  If you are not 
willing to do that, then maybe you should consider not volunteering.

Now I was told by a responder on this thread that I am not a customer because I 
did not pay for this software.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  In my 
career I had many "customers" that did not pay for the software I was 
supporting.  It was my job to provide them the best support that I could.  I 
suggest that responders to requests for help on this mailing list adopt the 
same approach, volunteer or not.

Another responder to this thread brought up that he was volunteering and I was 
wasting his time.  How about the time of mine he wasted when he suggested I try 
something that made no difference in the outcome, and had nothing to do with 
the problem?  And this has happened to me before with other responders on this 
mailing list.  I was in fact told by another responder that the reply of a 
specific person was off topic and is often the case for that person.

Maybe you should spend some time pointing that out to those individuals rather 
than chastising someone who is simply trying to get help.

Regards,
Mike

Michael,

Please refrain from insulting the efforts of the people on this list trying to 
help you. If you are not happy with the help you receive here, you are free to 
look for it elsewhere. I would like the discussions here to stay civil and on 
topic.

I hope you provide us all here with the same respect that you would expect us 
to have towards you.

We are all volunteers here.

Thank you

Manfred
