Yes, it does get old. We should be able to discuss things without a religious war.
... and that's all I've been trying to say. It's good that Richard got the answers he needed. Apologies to the rest of the list. -- Lynn -----Original Message----- From: Dev-List [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 8:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: opensrs v2.52 install problem on win2k It just shows what type you are. You have a off-list message, and suddenly you take it on-list. Doesn't give you a very good rep either you know. No one wants to hear you whining about what server is best etc. I simply asked earlier what others opinions were and what our experiences were. Get over it, was no flames but you just seem to like to whine and cry about something I guess. My mail box seems to get only your off lists complaints tonight. I am sure you can find something productive to do? I know I sure can and I am after this post. I have better things to do than sit around and receive messages all night from you stating that I was dogging your lovely server. No such thing was ever said. I am more than willing to offer advice from my experience etc to anyone on the list who is open minded. Anyone else on the list I will break my back to help them if they ask me for it because that is the kind of guy I am as long as they don't write e-mails all night whining about a post asking for a opinion 10 hours ago!! I have even gotten offline letters saying you are not worth replying to, and I am now taking their advice. It's a shame it took me so long to listen to them. Sorry all, you will hear no more from me. Over, I apologize to all but all these off line e-mails I have been getting from him tonight is getting very aggravating as you can see. Again, apologizes to everyone else. Good Night, No more writing. We are through. Case closed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn W.
