Hello Dwight, It was foretold that on Thursday, December 20, 2001 at 14:27 GMT -0600, Dwight A Corrin [DAC] would type:
DAC> Funny you should post this today. I received the following, which DAC> looks more innocent than yours but still made me wonder. If sender DAC> knew about the list, why not ask there instead of send query to me? I tend to get a few people a month contacting me. For various reasons, they aren't comfortable posting to the list, so they ask someone who posts a fair bit[1]. The message you got seems to be in that vein. <snip> >> Sorry to bother you, but I saw your name on The Bat discussion list. >> Could you please tell me how to send HTML emails with TB. >> >> It was in the FAQ sometimes ago but no more. >> Thanks in advance <snip> [1] I personally try to tell people who do this that posting to the list is better for a variety of reasons. The main reasons are: a) List members who are familiar with the particular solution will be responding rather than a random individual. This usually means better responses. b) Other people on the list have a chance to learn from the responses to the question. c) An individual might not have the time or inclination to answer a given message. By posting to the list, there is a good chance that *someone* will post a solution, even if it isn't someone who posts often. d) Responses to the list will almost always be faster simply because there are so many timezones represented. e) This list is very tolerant when it comes to non-native English. You might even find someone who can help you in your native tongue. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Ok, who is General Relativity, and what did he do with Sir Newton? -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
