It is also basic courtesy and nettiquete to not be so blantantly rude in your comments. I think for the sake of courtesy if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all, at least not in a way that clutters up my inbox. I, and I'm sure others, are getting tired of weeding through countless posts that waste my valueable time. Contact the person individually and not through the list if you have something negative to say, otherwise I think it's best to keep it to yourself and not humiliate publicly or waste anyones time regardless if you think the original post was worth a reply or not. -----Original Message----- From: John Mason [mailto:John.Mason.Jr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 3:59 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Newbie using Exchange[Scanned] http://www.MSExchange.org/ I don't think anyone is saying you have to be an expert, just for folks to have a bit of courtesy. It is basic nettiquite to check for a FAQ and search an archive for the answer to a question prior to a post. This type of behavior will help in other groups as well preventing flames. This list and newsgroups are not a helpdesk it is rude to think that someone elses time is less valuable than your own. Maybe some hints on how to get/find good answers could be added to the subscription info.
