John, I was thinking the same thing. Thanks. Kon, Welcome. This is a great resource for answers to your technical questions. Howard A. Cyker Lucent Technologies Engineering Infrastructure - New Product Engineering Email [log in to unmask] p.s. Just wanting to welcome a new member and not proliferate the debate. No reply necessary. -----Original Message----- From: Grabski III, John R.

Everyone welcomes you, and then others chime in with the "what do you do"'s... And if someone does something wrong on their first post, an admin or moderator will at least make sure that a "welcome to the forums" is peppered in among the comments somehow... There's many forums out there, and many many variations of rules... I'm sure Kon had no intent of "committing offenses"... jeez. Welcome, Kon. Best Regards, John Grabski III Badger Technologies, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Decray [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 4:22 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Info I think that old tech-netters agree with you Steve. This is a forum for help not for advertising. If you want to advertise buy a domain and do it on the web. Highest Regards, William W. DeCray III -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Steve Thomas Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 3:54 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Info Earl made a choice not to return because he didn't like the conditions he had to meet. He wasn't bombed by the admins. or anything. On the topic of the original post, it was neither a question or a response to one. Seems to me the remaining option would be advertisement, particularly with a phone number attached. I dont' mind having people suggest that someone with a question contact them offline if they might have something to offer as a resolution, but this was unsolicited. -----Original Message----- From: Alcorn, Brent [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 12:18 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Info Why should Steve lighten up? ,,,, they made Earl leave for less. -----Original Message----- From: Kris Keating [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 3:10 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Info lighten up -----Original Message----- From: Steve Gregory [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2003 5:04 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Info Kon, You have just commited one of the more serious offences that can be commited on this forum. That is blatantly advertising your company. There is absolutely no excuse for that. Instead of attracting potential customers, you probably have secured people not to even consider your company.
