Hi Folks, After becoming a little frustrated of seeing and reading the same old stuff, day in and day out, and IMHO the list not having the same useful content as previously, I have number of suggestions.
With a number of other groups, a different format is used, a question is asked, replies are sent directly to the person asking the question and this person then summarises for the groups benefit. This has couple of immediate advantages : 1) stops arguments on the relative benefits of a GOTO over a LOOP for the 53rd time. (30 replies on the last one). 2) stops multiple answers clogging bandwidth of everybody on the list. eg. being told how to MAT var = '' 9 times. People need to also have a little more discipline and perhaps utilise the community list when appropriate. I choose not to subscribe so am not aware if it gets much of a hammering but perhaps it could do with a little more. This format provides that discipline. I am aware there useful posts and the responses can be very helpful but we could also promote the use and searching of the archives prior to posting. This would trim down a number of the duplicate posts. I feel these simple measures would cut down considerably on duplicate and unnecessary traffic. Donning asbestos underpants now.
