Nope I didn't look at the subject... see I use pine and just hit 'n' for
next message. I try not to waste my time by going to the index and what
not... 8) i'm just a clueless 'idiot' then in your words. I guess doing
what works fastest for me also makes me 'stupid,' so be it... I'll admit
that I'm a lamer!

8) WHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave, take this in stride as I stated before I'm a lamer and might not
communicate myself well, but .... I'm on several lists and try to follow
each lists etiquette (sp?) there are also some rules that as list
lurkers we should follow, one is that one shouldn't post to a list things
not in it's 'charter.'
For sale stuff is not particularly appropriate to this list... as repeated
incessantly by Jake and Lucent RABU (ex-)employees...Thus this 'whine' is
something that ALL should take heed.
As for _ass_uming that us whiners shouldn't tell people to RTFM or STFW,
well I'm 'guilty' of that fact... it's surprising how 30 secs. of my time
will find the information that someone who appears to be new to posting
just blats out to the list... then there are those questions which pop up
in multiples that a simple archive search would have given the answers.
I've been flamed before for posting non-consequential things and for
giving 'rude' responses. That's all and well, the main thing I wish to
see is that people take some initiative to find information and to follow
netiquette (sp?)
Now, I'm curious as to who (or is it whom) you consider to be the whiners?
