<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...and it is exactly that mix that makes this, for
me at least, much more valuable than any other Access list or newsgroup ...its
fairly well balanced between Access gurus and those with the level of experience
I originally brought to the list ...not a day goes by that I don't learn
something entirely new and useful in my work, or better yet, catch a glimpse of
gurus exchanging salvos in debates that illuminate the Access landscape for all
of us ...so as far as I'm concerned, bring it on ...the lurkers finally popping
up with the thing that's stumped them for days ...or sages like JC asking
questions that I don't even begin to understand until days later when I've
absorbed the equivalent of a post-grad semester in database
design.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=464485211-07032003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>I have to
respectively disagree with Susan and Arthur. I don't mind answering a
commonly asked question if the person seems to have put forth some effort to
solve the problem. But I do not like to have people come to the list as
a first-ditch effort to ask common questions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=464485211-07032003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>The reason I
stay active on this list is because there are a lot of difficult and/or
unusual questions that pop up that help us all when we get to similar
situations. Susan has asked some questions that seemed very simple on
the surface, but when people start to answer them it turned out that
there were deeper meanings than most of us were aware
of.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->

the list when I find myself stuck. It's the first place I try. Not
the KB, not the wide, wide, world of the web. Why? Because if there's an
answer to be had, it is probably here. In fact, AccessD has been
mentioned in two of my book acknowledgements. Why should anyone waste time
spinning their wheels looking for something they might not find. Even if
info is found, trying to apply it to what you're doing can be as much a
problem as finding it! Especially the MK articles, because they're almost
always out of date! </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
