Nice try Alex, but as I have said, this list is not for the purpose of advertising other sites at the expense of VIPhone. I.E. Rather than encouraging people to post to AppleVis rather than to this list is simply using this list to promote AppleVis and that sort of thing, as you already know, is not welcome here.
People are more than welcome to seek info wherever they choose and both AppleVis and this list are two such places to find such information. The point here is to give equal time to each of the various information sources, not to have one over the other. So please, this is a friendly warning to you. Do not do this again here on this list. AppleVis is a valuable resource and I would hope that the staff there view this list equally so. Have a great day...

Most of us are aware of and use www.applevis.com. If you have a helpful guide or tutorial, simply post it to that website. Then, whenever a message comes up asking how to do something you've already written about, you need only send along that link. This lets everyone save time by not re-writing the same guides, plus it makes said guides easier to find for people who might be searching the internet instead of using this specific list. Plus, AppleVis is always happy to have more information. <smile> On Jul 2, 2014, at 2:20 PM, Pinky <pink...@abe.midco.net> wrote: > Hi Joseph, > You need to lighten up some and not be so critical.
