Ah...finally it's lunchtime so I can throw my two cents in. Frankly, this post disturbs me. For one, the last statement implies that this list is not as good as it use to be? What does that mean? Every day I see good questions asked and good responses given. I have been participating in this forum for quite some time I am still impressed with the knowledge out there and the willingness of people to share. What else is it you (we) are looking for? Second, this has an air of elitism and egotism to it. From the "very special" splinter group formed outside of TechNet, to the implication that the "glory" of the list is gone because two people choose not to participate, is condescending to the many people who freely share their knowledge here. Nobody should be on a pedestal or begged to come back. This is a public forum and everybody is free to participate as they choose as long as they conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the intent of the forum. I hope I haven't ruffled any feathers here, but that's my response to the poll. Shoot, time to get back to work! ========================= Bob Barr Manufacturing Engineering Formation, Inc. ========================= -----Original Message----- From: Steve Gregory [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 9:27 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] NTC...The return of an old sage... Hi All! Just an informal poll, what would you all think of Paul Klasek coming back to the list? The long timers here know him, he's from Oz, and doesn't mince words, and a wealth of knowledge about dispensing, among many, many other things...Paul has taught me more about different things than I could ever imagine... I would like to see him back...those of you that remember him know what I speak of. I belong to a very special email group of just a few of us that formed from the Technet that includes Paul, and we've been talking about him returning...I really think the list would be richer with him back...I just want to convince him that people miss him. I've tried to email Earl, but haven't had a reply... Trying to bring the list back to it's former glory... -Steve Gregory- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
