Dear All

squid is very popular software 
You people should invite for college and university
students to maintain squid site for you. 

and they aslo can sponsor squid development.

or something at Govt level.

aslo there is very less information about support
contract at MARA System site . i should me written
clearly and their charges in $$$

so anyone interested will look at services you are
offering. 

Wish all developers Good Luck for what they do.

keep it up the good work !


Thanks and Regards

Let me second this. 

If anyone here wants to contribute fiscally, but their company won't
allow a donation, buy something from one of the active developers - I
live in Sydney Australia, and support clients locally and worldwide.
MARA systems supports folk worldwide as far as I'm aware.

Would a support contract work for you?

Squid support contracts via MARA Systems is one quite direct way of
supporting the Squid development, or at least my part of it.

The FAQ is helplessly behind and poorly structured. We have long been 
looking for someone who can help with maintaining the FAQ but so far no 
success.. there has been a few people who have tried, but they never even 
managed to make a single change (not even spelling corrections). I guess 
it is simply too much and they quickly ran away when realising what mess 
it is..

And so would a support contract ;-)

Indeed - many congratulations Duane.  I saw  Duane's sig and like
Henrik just assumed it was supposed to be a sig but like he said, if
Duane wants to put it at the top, no problem for me all his posts
were/are helpful.  Although this mailing list is awesome I will be
buying the book for three reasons:

- my company doesn't let us send money or donations to the squid
project (I've asked - I'd like to donate a Sun since that is what we
use, but we can't donate).  But we *can* buy books so we'll be getting
at least two.

- It's nice to have a reference and I am sure it has bits that either
weren't in the FAQ or on this list or are but will be more easily
findable via the TOC or index/book format.

- I won't always be with this company and this will help me "turn
over" our Squid proxies to whoever takes my place.

Again, I think this is a great achievement and I am looking forward to
it.  And as Henrik mentions, it's a major step for Squid and should be
noticed!  Thanks again Duane and the whole Squid Team!

All messages I have seen has included usefull comments further down in the 
message.

It is not normal, but I would say he is fully entitled to include such
advertisements in any messages he sends in any manner he pleases, at least
as long as the rest of the message corresponds with the guidelines for the
squid-users mailing list. He is after all the "father" of Squid and who is
paying for all costs around the squid-cache.org site and mailing lists
(via one of his companies).

For convenience to the readers I usually place advertisements in the
bottom sig when I want to advertise for my services, but I did not mind
seeing this specific one at the top (but suspect from the look that it was
meant to be bottom sig). It is a farily big news that finnaly after more
than 6 years there is now a book only about using Squid. It is a major
step for Squid and should be noiced ;-)

This was my mistake.  I had intended for that to appear at the
bottom of some of my emails (although not messages sent to this
list).  My email program placed the signature at the top of the
message, and I didn't notice it there when replying.  I wont be
using that "feature" any more.

Not really - what you are seeing is something like a sig, but placed at the 
top of the email instead of the bottom.

Certainly in the four emails Duane posted this morning, he has responded to 
the questions further down in his reply, although I can understand your 
confusion on seeing the advert at the top and thinking perhaps that's all 
there was.

In my opinion top posting is bad enough, but mixing top posting and bottom 
posting in the same email is apalling.

[squid-users] [OT] Buy my book?

[fire-eyes]

I appreciate this list being here, but why am I seeing what appear to be 
automated responses from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to buy his book? Not 
exactly a useful response to myself and others.

I'm new to this list, is this normal here?
