- You would have read it in an Amiga group and *still* responded as though
- you hadn't realized what computer group you were reading???? (Sounds like
- a candidate for alt.usenet.recovery for serious addicts who read EVERY
- NEWSGROUP - twice... :> )

- New people pop up on usenet every day...what wasn't interesting to very
- many last week, may suddenly be the topic of the day NEXT week as all the
- new folks discover the world of the the amiga groups that their sites just
- received.

- Peculiar logic...does this mean that if I feel I *NEED* more than one
- calendar, I must have -several- refrigerators to hang them on??? :>
-
- I have WHAT!WHEN!Whatever! on order. My "need" for it has nothing to
- do with having more than one computer. I just need some reminding at times
- (like when a bill is due, or a birthday coming up, or even when to be on
- PMS alert. *grin*) Scheduling programs aren't ONLY for the executive - us
- little people need to organize our busy lives, too. (especially when we
- lapse into stress/forgetful mode!)
-
- Making assumptions about another's needs without asking for verification
- first of those needs is a poor practice. When people ask you about floppy
- drives, do you launch into the virtues of hard drives as though you heard
- not a word about what they were asking? Merely assuming that they really
- want to know about hard drives instead?
-
- >If the requestor was serious, he can contact the people at the email

-
- And if the requestor is able to find what he needs WITHOUT leaving email
- does that mean he was NOT serious??? Fascinating logic...ever thought of
- working for the government? :>
