<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>

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 -->

always come to 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articles, because they're almost always out of
date!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>
