Hi Larry,
Another point is that with more and more support options going to a
moderated format, there may be fewer and fewer places for Steve to
grovel for work. That's definitely one of the weak points of usenet
newsgroups and something I'm looking forward to with Microsoft Answers
and other places.

Steve Santus has been spamming newsgroups for a good many years. Regardless
of the admonitions that newsgroups are for free assistance, as this one
states; or the admonition that advertising, even of free stuff, is not
permitted, he refuses to follow the rules. Do you want to subject yourself
to the whims of someone who could, but will not, follow the rules?

Most of Steve's posts are simply flogging his services; but, when he does
attempt to answer questions, his correct answers are so few and far between
that capable, experienced Access developers who answer questions here for
free have said "no rates can be reasonable _enough_ to pay for wrong
answers".

But, poor Steve's claimed thousands of satisfied clients don't seem to be
enough. I doubt that is because he permanently solved their problems or
educated them enough that they no longer ever need any help. So, Steve must
take advantage of the last day or two to appeal for work Yet Again, here in
the dying newsgroup.

I wish Steve well, but I wouldn't wish him _on_ any users of this newsgroup.
