(Preparing soap-box...'scuse me...) 'Kay...here I am again, climbing up on the ol' soapbox... My math is better now, and the last time I checked, there's 1,657 of us. I figure with that many of us, there should be a lot more input than what I see there is...(right?) Are we all that secretive? I think we all understand proprietary information, but a lot of the information that I've seen asked about things isn't "top secret". I thought that this list was to help each other concerning our industry. Many of us don't have the expertise in certain facets about things that many of the rest of you do. I see many responses from Paul, Graham, Joyce, Hans, Kelly, Rudy, and even Werner (who makes his living consulting!) than I see from the other 1,500 or so members of this list...(my math is getting better, huh? hehehe...) I think all of us who are NET literate, know about "Lurking"...and I see a lot of that going on in this list. The more input there is from everybody, the more valuable it is to all of us. All I'm saying, is participate! No matter how much you might think your opinion is not relevant, it is! Heck, you might even learn something! After all, we're all in this together! Ain't we? You don't have to give away any "secrets" (we'll all find out about them eventually anyway, that's the way things work, right?) but just participate! PLEASE! (I'm offa' my soapbox now and ready for the flames...) -Steve Gregory- ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
