Yeah, they can piss people off elsewhere. While there are some people on this list who obviously know a great deal about Exchange, it seems inversely-proportional to people skills.
It is funny, I am on an SMS list with some absolutely amazing technical people and there isn't the same incredible attitude problem, no matter how any times the same question gets asked. Perhaps you just take as much pride in being rude, as you do in your exchange knowledge. -----Original Message----- From: Slinger, Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 May 2002 15:11 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: URGENT DISASTER RECOVERY Short version: Bite me. Long version: No, the fundamental difference is that I would have done some research first, documented what I _had_ done in any message that I sent out, which I would do only having read any appropriate FAQ's, I wouldn't post the request more than once, I wouldn't flag it as "urgent", and I wouldn't expect list members to drop everything to help me out. And if I _did_ consider it urgent, then I'd drop a dime and call in MS support. But then again, that's just me, and that's kinda why I answer questions (sometimes) rather than asking them. On the other hand, the original post, and your response, are one of the reasons that I don't hang around here very much anymore. Or why a lot of other very experienced and knowledgeable folks either (a) don't play here any more, or (b) have more intelligent places to play.
