- The answer to the above question is very simple.. what if you need the
- information NOW, and not a few weeks from now?
- If you were working on a school assignment or something for work, and no one
- was around you knew the answer.. you would certainly go looking thru news to
- see if you could find some group that is catering to your needs.. Now,
- netiquette says "Don't post until you are familiar.." The boss says, "Find the
- answer before lunch or you will be reading net.jobs.." I think you would post
- before you were supposed to..
-
- And since no one here knows of this guys situation, all of this senseless
- flaming and waste of bandwidth is quite unnecessary and uncalled for.. so
- why don't we just let it drop and get down to what we are supposed to really
- be talking about here..
