The LUG provides me with an opportunity to learn from some very skilled people. Like most other discussion lists tempers tend to flare easily. I believe that this can be attributed to the dis-intermediation (I've always wanted to use that word...) provided by email. To wit - it is not a face to face conversation. As a result we don't get the clues when our statements start to get out of control, and the statements just keep on going further and further. A couple of suggestions... As a reader when someone makes a statement that seems outrageous choose to find it amusing as opposed to a call to battle. As a writer responding to a message that makes your blood boil write the response - and then delete it. Send your second response, which will probably be more articulate and much more reasoned in tone. - -- Bill Laidley EDI and Electronic Commerce Consulting Voice: (604) 434-8576 E-mail: laidley@direct.ca
