RE: How to secure PDF file? -- settle down or go away

2000-05-10 Thread Mike Amburn

directly from the CF-Talk guidelines (http://www.houseoffusion.com/):

"Please DO post your succinct questions and answers, announcements about
events, products, and job opportunities and your input on discussions of
workplace issues. As long as the topic is ColdFusion-related, and your TOPIC
clearly defined in your SUBJECT line, it is acceptable ..."

the poster is developing a website using ColdFusion and wanted to know how
to secure PDFs within the website. that's about as on-topic as it gets.

personally, i don't give a flip whether you retract it or not. those are the
guidelines that the list was created upon. if you don't like them, then go
create your own special list full of expert developers that only ask
important, really-really-really-CF-related questions. but you have no
foundation to flame people who post according to the guidelines just because
you don't think their information isn't useful to you. this is not an
elitist list, and if you think it's supposed to be, you need to go read the
guidelines.

again i suggest you either settle down or go away.

 I disagree.  People are going to stop reading the list if it is so deluged
 with off-topic and dumb questions that the real questions that are related
 to CF are lost in the flood.  Someone asked yesterday how to make CF make
 text blink in Netscape.  People ask how to make CF control other frames in
 browsers.  People ask all sorts of questions about "how do I get CF to do
 x" where x is a totally un-CF-related topic and had the posessed the
 most basic knowledge of web development, they'd have known it.

 There comes a time when people need to posess at least a basic
 knowledge of
 the technologies they are working with, and this is gained by
 RTFM, taking a
 class, etc.

 I will not retract my statement.  Perhaps you enjoy sifting
 through hundreds
 of such dumb questions daily but I do get tired of it.

 My "flame" was posted as politely as I could muster.

  i'd suggest you either settle down or unsubscribe for cf-talk.
  posts such as
  the one below submitted by yourself do nothing to help other
  developers and
  only seek to compensate for a all-to-inflated ego. you could have
  explained
  it a dozen other ways instead...
 
  perhaps i'm falling for a big chunk of flame-bait, but this kind
  of response
  has got to stop or people are going to stop reading...

   I feel tempted to flame you, but I won't.  Cold Fusion is
 only concerned
   with Cold Fusion .cfm files.. NOTHING ELSE.  It doesn't care about
   PDF's, it doesn't care about making text flash in your browser, it
   doesn't care about ANYTHING but parsing .cfm files!
