Re: FW: weird problem
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 56683
interpreted = N
texte = Cute! But there is no hard and fast rules to how a post should go. Most of the time people are slamming people for not posting correctly. Constructive criticism is fine, but email loses alot of tone and most of the "how-to" becomes more of a "look dumba$$". Everyone likes to scream how webcat's big problem is lack of SMSI support and marketing (which I agree with on a large picture), but I have talked to two people that bought the product that feel overwhelmed because when they asked for help on this list they were slammed. Out of proper business etiquette and respect for some of the people on this list I have refrained from flaming and I hope this message is not taken as a stab at anyone. This snide comments should remain untyped (mine as well). If you do not like how someone is posting a question or it takes too much of your time to wade through then do not answer. If you want to help some with how they post then take the time to add the few extra words that cut the hard edge off of it. Feel free to blast me with your opinions as you are entitled to them, but I ask that you do if off list so we do not waste anyone else's time having to wade through it for the real questions. After all that is what this list was suppose to be for. Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Busbin"
