Please log in for more thread options I don't disagree that it's your right to share your personal stuff with who
you want to. And I apologize if my saying it's a pet peeve of mine offended
you, it's just how I feel about it. You are definitely one of the most
helpful posters that frequent here and I commend you for that.
My point was, and is, that the whole purpose of this newsgroup is to share
information, and knowledge with each other to make everybody's job managing
RMS easier. This forum is the main reason my pos solution works as well as
it does. And I got it this way by primarily reading other peoples threads
and downloading the helpful files posted. Very few of the files I have were
posted for me specifically. Posting helpful items is one way we can help
everyone that frequents the NG, where as emailing helps only a select few.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that wouldn't be as well off as I am if
everyone only emailed files instead of posting them. Take Care.
