Hi John,
I agree with your statements, but as a newbee! myself I have tried
reading the books and find it very hard to absorb the info thereby
contained. Probably due to a lack of formal training. But over time you
will hear more and more from me because my interest is very genuine and
if I can eventually help other newbee's! by experience then I shall be
very pleased with my learning curve. I again reiterate my grateful
thanks for the help received from this group(exchange list/isa list)
members whether formally qualified or qualified by experience. My
personal skills have been greatly enhanced and I earn a living on the
back of this fact albeit as a newbee!. One day I will attain full
qualification by experience counts for everything in my book, will
probably take a long time though (I am determined).
Professionals are made from amateurs, and amateurs become professionals
with help from the likes of this group.
Keep up the good work, (just had to say all that).
Best regards,
Rick Parsons

The person was not asking for help. He was asking for information on
where
to find resources on a subject he knows nothing of.
Any professional should know where to find basic resources. Again, we
are
talking about basics, not problem solving or features. As he is a member
of
this list, he must know about MSExchange.org. By nature of the list, it
is
for helping people with issues and such, not for basic questions such as
where can I find information about Exchange.
Furthermore, there seems to be a proliferation of newbie's asking basic
questions on a list without first doing any research. (Not just this
one, on
many.) While this in itself is not an issue, it indicates a lack of
professionalism in that the person has not done some basic research,
instead
turning directly to a list to ask questions.
Example, I have seen the same question basic question being asked over
and
over on the ISA list. This information is 1. Readily available in the
archives, 2. Readily available on ISAserver.org, 3. Readily available on
www.microsoft.com.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion Mr. Srivas.
