This may help. I only help people that help me! If after a few times I get
no thanks or a "consumer" attitude I no longer help them. You can tell a
real tech and business person by having business discussions("off tech")
with them.
The consumers and part timers and cut throat assholesd stand out. This is
why I want any topic ok.I can tell if IO am talking to my peers. There are
sub groups also,
composed of people of like minds,or in the case of a certain West
Virginians, evil cunnung minds, (joking!!) This is why I want sig files, to
root out the consumers. al
