I would like to add something. I use this newsgroup from time to time and
have always been really amazed by the fact that all these guys are happy to
help anyone from the newest newbie to an expert. Even though sometimes the
requests are long winded or very vague, they still try their best, even those
who perhaps aren't experts themselves still try and point people in the right
direction.

It seems to me that anyone trying to tout for business in a forum especially
made for people to help other people for free just seems wrong. And when
others mention this then those doing the touting just get aggressive and
offensive.

I have no doubt, i'll receive an offensive, aggressive reply to this post
but i think that just proves the point I, and many others are trying to make.

Perhaps someone could find out if it is possible to bar people doing this,
i.e. by barring posts with their email or websites in?!?

Thanks again to all the people who have given up their time and expertise
over the years to help me with my queries, you are all stars in my eyes!

These people are class acts because they spend their time helping posters in
the newsgroups and not polluting the newsgroups with garbage and taking up
volumes of bandwidth in the newsgroup servers. It has nothing with their
feelings about me. For anyone reading this, just take a look at how many
real contributions the following dimwits have made to the newsgroups: Arno
R, John Marshall, Randy Harris and Keith Wilby. Arno R would rather spend
his time sending emails to my office. John Marshall would rather spend his
time showing how dimwitted he is. Randy Harris would rather spend his time
being a puppet of Arno R and Keith Wilby would rather spend his time showing
how two-faced he is.

Duane,

You continue to demonstrate that you are not even in the league with
class
acts like Allen Browne, Ken Snell, Pieter Linden, Albert Kallal, Fred G,
Graham Mandello, Chuck Grimsby, MG Foster, and others.

The way that Steve figures it, anyone that doesn't object to his Datasheet
spam is a class act.
