FROM a misunderstood reader (this is not directed to *only* Clint):
It amazes me how remarks can be picked up the wrong way; I thought my email
was clear. I'm not complaining about Clint's postings. As I said in my
remark, I have the highest regard for Clint's storehouse of computer
knowledge. I'm surprised it was picked up as a denigration of what he is
offering.
My point is that contrary to point 3 below, I have very little "sources" of
information or "knowledge" and that is why I was asking for some explanation
of what the Secunia posts were. Note that I didn't even know what to call
them so I used the term "support-o postings" (because I happened to see that
term on top of his last "secunia" post. I don't even know what that means.
Now from your remarks, I learn that it has something to do with computer
security. That's all I wanted to know. I know so little about this that I
don't even know how to use that information. And it's possible other people
are in the same boat. Fortunately, I don't think my system is compromised
but one never knows.
So Point 1 (see below), I'm not filtering anything. Point 2, I get the
PCWorks Digest and don't know what that has to do with archives (btw,
PCWorks archives is fantasitic; easy to find any earlier postings). Point 3
I already covered. And Point 4, nobody is asking for the "secunia" posts to
stop --- again, it was just that I didn't know what they are.
I'm repeating my original question below where I don't see where I said
anything derogatory about any of the good work that the very knowledgeable
people in PCWorks are doing; for you guys and girls (ladies?), I have the
highest respect. Why those two paragraphs were picked up as a complaint by
four people, I'll never know. --- Harold
FROM Clint:
1. No one is forcing you to read them. Set an email filter for "Secunia"
if you don't like them.
2. It's NOT MY FAULT that there is something wrong with the archives.
3. Not EVERYONE has your "sources" of information or "knowledge". Consider
other members that do NOT have your "other sources".
4. As usual, no good deed goes unpunished; so, the hell with it.
Original Posting:
Questoin for Clint (or anyone else who can help me). Dear Clint, I know
you are a storehouse of computer information, and are very helpful to the
group.
We all know that and appreciate it. But poor me does not understand what I
am supposed to be getting from your (for want of any name), your "Support-O"
postings.
They often have the same "look" and I am sure all have different
information, and important information. That's the problem; I don't know
what that information means. I know I am missing something so if you or
anyone can explain what I am missing, without thinking I am rude, please
enlighten me (and possibly other newbies in the group). Or am I the only
idiot here? --- Harold
