- John posted some pretty good hints. Thanks for the input.
-
- So, let's hear it - Fido people, CAN you send personal email? If not,
- *please* (I am attempting to be polite in the hopes of convincing
- people) use the format suggested. Maybe there is another newsgroup that
- you all can subscribe to to transmit your messages.
-
- I have posted this to the entire group because I have seen more than one
- person violate this (normally) accepted community standard. Basically,
- I was trying to save from sending multiple messages as well as convince
- many people. I do NOT want this place to degrade into a series of
- personal messages back and forth between readers.
-
- As for flames on this newsgroup - heh, believe me, this place has had
- its share of flames and STILL keeps on going. :) There's been the
- press war, the lights war, and numerous other ones. Don't worry, people
- here take a lickin and keep on tickin.
-
- Let's try to clean this up, ok? Thanks.
-
- Ian
