actually a good thing.

Seems like a good spot for me to put in a plug for
comp.databases.ms-access, which is USENET, still around (as you,
of course, know -- as you are a regular there), and still useful.
If a user doesn't employ newsreader software, it can be accessed
via http://groups.google.com (though I don't recommend that for
general use, but do recommend it for searching the archives).

CDMA is dying. All the real traffic is in the MS public forums.
That's why I started posting there, because traffic was just
vanishing from CDMA.

It is very sad that you have reacted the way you have, The UA
rules state very clearly
"Participants shall not post any material that (1) is likely to
cause offence ..."

I did nothing to give offense. I pointed out bad advice, perhaps
using terms you wouldn't use, but, hey, let's discuss that. I'm all
for a spirited discussion.

There was no discussion in this case -- just a moderator's demand
that I apologize. When I refused, I was bounced.

That's fine.

UA users are welcome to their walled garden, protected from the real
world.

Many people join UA, as opposed to other groups, for this very
reason, - not because thay want to be protected from the real
world but because they want to have an intelligent, courteous
discourse on a subject without being subjected to unnecessary and
destructive criticism.

I have contributed nothing but intelligent discourse to UA from the
very beginning to my last post.

Please explain this comment. The veiled assertion of misogyny seems
like something you ought to either explicitly support, or withdraw.

I, for one, don't know what the frack you are talking about. I
called the advice stupid, nothing more. There were no other loaded
terms involved.

So, I'm assuming you've written something that I've just completely
misinterpreted, and would like to hear a clarification of exactly
what you meant by it.

While Access 2007 can still work with
replication via code (not available on menus),

YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG.

If you open an MDB, you will find replication right there on the
menus, just like it is in previous versions of Access.

This is what drives me completely crazy and makes me call people's
advice stupid -- when you make comments (and give advice) that show
you haven't even bothered to check that what you say is correct.

Hi David,

while the options for replication and user security are on the Database
Tools ribbon if you use an older version database, they are not if the
database is in Access 2007 format, ACCDB -- I should have clarified
that. But if you are using an MDB with replication, why use 2007?

While SharePoint is in its infancy, Microsoft is building its
capabilities and it will become quite impressive -- wish I could share
things that I know but I cannot... all I can say is that Microsoft is
listening ,,, if you have some good ideas, you should tell them. If you
do not have a contact and wish to send your ideas to me, I will pass
them along, with your contact information in case they have questions
for you.


Warm Regards,
Crystal

Hi David,

you used a strong term before the word 'stupid' -- Chris got it right,
but I will not say it...

Regardless, it was the disrespectful tone, not the actual words... I
wish you would just let this go instead of feeling the need to keep
justifying what you said. As Bernie pointed out, it was against the
posted rules of UA.

.... guess this means you are not going to answer my question about music
composition software? I am trying to look for a silver lining -- maybe
it is because I try to make the best of anything. You are quite gifted,
in more ways than I realized before so, the way I see it, something good
can still come from this.

Warm Regards,
Crystal

Now you're being ridiculous.

Lots of people like NYC. I didn't, so I left. That's all. It had nothing
to do with Access, in whatever form it existed in 1993 (2.0?). Unlike you,
my life and my lifestyle choices are based on criteria other than software
products.

David,

I am sorry to hear you got banned... Being a former New Yorker, I
understand how alot of people misunderstand your direct 'tone' and can
get
offended. To digress... when I first moved to Ohio and took a job I was
unhappy about the way the cleaning service cleaned the office. As a New
Yorker, I called and YELLED. Well, the woman started crying and that set
me off even more. My now good friend Lorraine looked at me and explained
THIS is Ohio and if you want something done all you have to do is ask.
Of
course, I was stunned! Anyway, I did call up and apologize and explained
"Oops, new concept to me... to just ask!" and all was forgiven. (By the
way, it did take me almost a year to stop yelling first.)

Back to the point... Now perhaps, after everyone has calmed down you can
'talk' to the moderators or maybe you don't want to, up to you really.
But I personally will not ban the site and would not recommend for
anyone
to do so. No matter where you go there is the good, the bad and the ugly
(LOVED that movie) but for the MOST part that site is great for
beginners,
intermediate and there is even some top grade advice, code and solutions
there on expert level. (Unfortunately, all I ever do there is post a
link
to my web site as I don't have time to answer and read the posting much
since I can get it my newsreader.)

For calling a stupid suggestion a stupid suggestion, one of the
moderators at UtterAccess has banned me because I refused to
apologize for the infraction of calling bad advice bad advice.

Be warned that on UtterAccess.com, anyone can post terrible advice
if they do it politely (according to what the moderators arbitrarily
consider "polite") and continue to post bad advice. If, on the other
hand, one strongly criticizes someone else's advice, you can be
banned, even if you're right about the bad advice.

I would suggest that this should makes anyone question the
reliability of anything posted on UtterAccess if it's not confirmed
elsewhere.
