Hi Roland, Wasn't there an action of IPC lately to get rid of all inactive subscribers ? Not much lost with those emailadresses that perhaps not even exist anymore ! I think (and hope) this explains the shrinking amount of members. Daan Terstegge Thales Communications Unclassified mail Personal Website: http://www.smtinfo.net >>> Roland Jaquet <[log in to unmask]> 04/15/03 04:30pm >>> Ditto + The forum is wonderful, let's not be that rigid, but conciliate and welcoming as well as open minded and for some in particular who are sending insults off TechNet, please grow up, life is too short for not enjoying it. It seems the forum lost already some very valuable people and it is shrinking all the time due to our narrow thinking. Didn't we lost about 1/3 of the members already? ----- Message d'origine ----- De : Barry Gallegos À : [log in to unmask] Envoyé : mardi, 15. avril 2003 14:53 Objet : Re: [TN] Info Ditto -----Original Message----- From: Randy Bock Sr. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 2:57 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Info I tend to agree with you.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grabski III, John R." <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [TN] Info > At plenty of other forums, you are pretty much supposed to introduce > yourself in your first post...
