Hi Gem,
That's a perfectly valid and appreciated explanation. *smile* I would only
suggest that you bear in mind that UseNet is said to be non-promotional in
nature. Newsgroup manifestos attempt to stick to this ideaology because,
in its absence, groups get plagued by what people call 'noise', which does
not add much relevant content to the ongoing discussion.
One such example is alt.websites, which has been literally dead for ages.
As people endlessly post URL's to arbitrary sites which they have just set
up, the vocation of the group seems uncertain and people soon unsubscribe
and depart. In other groups, people post one-line URL's to their eBay
auctions, which proves to be annoying to group subscribers. A better and
openly-accepted is that which includes technical suggestions or answers,
_as well as_ a possibility or an offer for further help.
To clarify, I have no authority whatsoever in this group. I am just a
slightly concerned reader who hopes to make constructive suggestions. I
hope you didn't take any offence in my previous message. If so, it wasn't
intended.
Best wishes,
Roy
