Folks:
I think its time we put the use of the SI-List in perspective and lay down
some rules:
In my opinion, I think it should be a clearly stated goal that the SI-List
is not a place for beginners to learn. It should be a place for discussion
of substantive alternate points of view and in-depth questions on new
technology, tools and SI techniques. There are many seminars and books that
should be consulted before bringing elementary problems to the SI-List list
membership. A quick search on Google will suffice on this point.
The SI-List should not be the place to get free technical
consulting. There are many capable consultants whose professional
livelihood depends on helping existing and new clients with their problems
in a cost effective and rapid manner. Many excellent suggestions can be
found on the Si-List by these folks and it is not a burden to find out who
they are and how they can help you. If your project has not been funded to
support the required work, whether by yourself or a consultant, then the
list should not be burdened by requests for free help.
