Ms. Seibert,

SET RANT ON

>Because it is extremely annoying, happens constantly, and people like you are obviously ignorant of the extent the problem here.

People like me???? What does that mean? What do you know about me?


>I often dont bother participating in future threads those people get involved with becuase I dont have the time nor the patience to sort thru all the bogus replies. So that hurts the person who started a thread if other participants are driving away valid commentary, it hurts the offenders because I for one (and I'm betting I'm not alone) purposedly avoid helping a few people up here because of the amount of spam they create, and that hurts the forum in general.

"those people" As I said to Mr. Coates in an open public place there are going to be folks that may be an annoyance to others. That fact has to be accepted and you certianly have the right to choose whom you help with your time and knowledge.

>And let's not forget the scenario where people who have the most to offer up here probably have a limited amount of time to offer help to those looking for it... so that half hour spent cleaning out span replies isnt spent helping people.

If there are those that REALLY have to spend that much time dealing with forwarded messages then you are right. Again, as I have stated it seems the only solution would be to limit forwarding to the priviledged or remove it all together.


>So my suggestion is why dont you grow up and all the other offenders as well.

"offenders" Personaly, in the short time that I've been here I have not used the forwarding so you are wrong to place me in that group of "offenders".

>As technical professionals is it too much to ask for a little professional courtesy?

You mean like accepting another point of view without attacking the person?
So you think that your reply to me was professional?

>SET RANT OFF

Well I hope that you feel better, but you have really offended me but that is ok.. I'm just a nobody here and it really does not matter in the greater scheme of things now does it?
