I'll second that.....
It's all very well talking about others netiquette but I think we should
first concentrate on overall etiquette. Every time I have posted a message
here I have received numerous replies - granted some were way off track but
I am just gratefull that people are spending time at least having a go.
After all, I post messages to this list when I have exhausted all other
resources as I realise that people are busy and I don't want to undully
waste their time.
Just remeber that 100 responses to a query that don't lead to an answer are
better than no responses at all which is what you are in danger of doing if
we respond in an 'ungrateful' tone.....you never know we might learn
something different anyway.

Subject: RE: Which Platform is most scabable for CF 4.5?
Now, now, a little decorum,
There I was, telling our management that the great thing about CF is the
fantastic sense of community, and here we go. As a great Australian says,
"get out of the sandbox". I don't really know what it means, but I think it
must be apt.
I've never quite got the hang of quoting myself, nor of keeping my elbows
off the dining table. I HAVE figured out, though, that if I come to the
community with a question, I should really be grateful for ANY answers that
turn up, even those that fail to answer my original question. How lucky we
all are to have people that actually get around to OPENING our messages,
even if they don't quite manage to read the entire thing.
As for you, Peter, isn't it strange that "apologize" has a "z", but not
"chastised". It's like you Americans have a different spelling for every
word!
Be good now,
Lee
ps., what's the netiquette regarding fixing spellos in the Subject?

I apologize if my message did not contain any information that was useful to
you. It was intended to have information that some of the readers of this
mailing list might find useful. I have been soundly chastised for an
imperfect email. In the future I will try to live up to your superb example.
