Guys, as the Mod for the list I think we've taken the thread from what it was, advice on helping a member register their server, to personal attacks about how we do research. All of use know that our Google-Fu may not be as good as others, the purpose of the lists are to post and answer questions, Practice good Nettiquette wich basically points to if you are willing to help, post by all means, if you do not have the answer or do not know, OR you are intending to have someone fish, try something like the following: Use BOL (books on line) to search for Key words "XXX" and "YYY" ETC, However that said, we're all adults, you can choose to help, or not. Let's not start a long thread of what should be or what shouldn't, let's keep it civilized.

Irrespective of the target or consequences. Was it harsh? Yup. Could it perhaps prevent someone else from making the same mistakes and undertaking projects without due preparation and planning? Hopefully, and therefore I believe useful. > > John asked Stuart "Why are you here then?". Some of us prefer to assist others, pass on what knowledge they can and in my case attempt to 'help others, help themselves', as opposed to just feeding of others. > > I know of a number who have left this (and the Access) list in the past, including myself, for similar reasons and 'Matesmenship' in the upper echelons. > > Please unsubscribe me from the list. > > Andrew > -- -Francisco http://pcthis.blogspot.com |PC news with out the jargon! http://sqlthis.blogspot.com | Tsql and More...
