Hi Adrian The comments to do with Windows question has nothing to with WAMUGs faith or the age of the person. The response would be the same regardless who posted it, that this is a Mac User forum mailing list. I direct you to the first line of the mailing list page on the WAMUG website:- <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailing-list/> /quote " The WAMUG Mailing list is an online forum for everything Macintosh." /end quote
Whether its one off or not, doesn't matter. The "rules and guidelines" are put in place for the benefit of everyone. Again, I'm not meaning to sound harsh, I'm just explaining. I know other online Mac forums where the same question would simply have been deleted by Moderators.
