Re: Dealing with the garbage mail...

well, have you read the web pages at www.groupstudy.com?   this is not a newsgroup, it is a mailing list - probably not much difference in principal but like anything else, different groups of people do things differently.   I have never been to alt....cisco - I joined this list as it is an education list.   check out the website to get a feel for what's happening here.   Kevin Wigle   CCDP/CCNP............     ----- Original Message ----- From: whatshakin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Kevin Wigle Sent: Friday, 28 July, 2000 23:35 Subject: Re: Dealing with the garbage mail... I thought that was what alt.certification.cisco was all about. Do we really need duplicate newsgroups? ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Wigle To: whatshakin ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 28, 2000 8:10 PM Subject: Re: Dealing with the garbage mail... hmmm - I thought this list was for certification questions and help making sense out of exam questions and understanding why this answer is wrong and that one is right.   Actually, this list is not for technical inquiries.  You normally pay someone for that. (unless Howard rescues you and puts the question into a certification compatible form :-)  )   I would prefer that our FAQ be updated and then I would agree to the blunt answer like: Read the FAQ! for questions about how many questions, passing score, how long, etc.............   my take anyway.   Kevin Wigle CCDP, CCNP.............. ----- Original Message ----- From: whatshakin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 28 July, 2000 22:42 Subject: Dealing with the garbage mail... From here on out I am going to reply to all those certification related questions I see with a blunt:   Cisco certification related posts are not acceptable in this newsgroup. Please go to alt.certification.cisco with all your cert related questions.  This newsgroup is for technical Cisco related inquiries and reference only.  Thank You.   If everyone else would can this response and use it when they see errant posts we can get it done quickly and comprehensively.  As long as we stop answering all the questions they should go away...hopefully.  Further, if everyone uses the same response we could use it as a filter in our email clients to avoid them ever getting to our inboxes etc, or you could send the replies directly to the original poster so the group does not have to endure them.   What do you folks think?
