Just like Google is a powerful search tool, I believe si-list is a powerful tool for SI related issues. Si-List has a powerful algorithm in the network of 3000+ subscribers. For all practical purposes, ask any SI related question and you will most likely get an answer. There are different levels of people asking questions. There are correspondingly different levels of people answering questions. A question that annoys/upsets a bunch of people, may be gladly answered by another person. That is what happened here. Senior people have to be tolerant to such questions. What is considered as waste of bandwidth may well be an investment.

However, this is not always the case, as it didn't seem to be in question #1 of the post that triggered this thread. "1- If I want to buy Ansoft Hfss v9 software,does it include the Optimetrics option or optimetrics option must be bought separately?" If there is a time crunch, the poster can (apologetically) mention that as the reason for his (potentially annoying) post and ask the question. I think that would upset a lot fewer people. But there is a difference between that and asking something to which the answer is readily available all over the place. How would you feel if someone posted a question like: "Could someone tell me the quadratic formula? I need it right now, but I left my textbook at home today..." A quick search on the web would give thousands of answers in fractions of a second... Now that I say this it occurs to me that respect can also be interpreted as respecting the list and its members by NOT asking before thinking (or doing the homework first)...

Due to urgency(your) or poor planning(your boss) or whatever the (valid ?) reason, often times most of us work in real-time. That is, we seek to get quick and not-so-bad answers to issues at hand. It would be nice if you have enough time to wait for the most appropriate time that you described. But, that is not our real-time and, as you know it, we dare not tell our managers that we are waiting for the most appropriate time. Besides, if you can get the quick and not-so-bad answer from the list (while you are pursuing appropriate channels also), it gives you a baseline input. How wonderful? I don't mean to say the list will render AEs jobs redundant. On the other hand, it tells them to be more real-time. That is a desirable situation, I believe. No disrespect intended. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
