Apparently you have trouble remembering where all this garbage started. To
refresh your memory, YOU Started it all by drawing the nimcompoop Arno R into this. Prior to your trouble-making, my signature line was only four lines.

Task List with tasks link to daily, day of week or other
You did not read far enough!
"..... solicitations that do not pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of the newsgroup or chat." The rules were designed to keep people from advertising their T-Shirts with dog pictures on them for sale in the newsgroup. Offering help to Access users pertains directly to what the newsgroups are for. Look at how many consultants directly advertise their services in the newsgroups in one way or another. Additionally, look at how many advertisements there are in the newsgroups for things that have absolutely nothing to do with Access. For example, there's a frequent responder who advertises religious retreats in his signature line. -- PC Datasheet Your Resource For Help With Access, Excel And Word Applications www.pcdatasheet.com Over 1000 Access users have come to me for help.

Any other mention of your company is completely out-of-line, and simply clutters up the forums. Please show your professionalism and dignity, and refrain from this inappropriate use of the forums. |

ink.net... You did not read far enough! "..... solicitations that do not pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of the newsgroup or chat." So where does it say that you are allowed to solicit? That line refers to refraining from off topic solicitation. |

Apparently you also flunked history. All this garbage started when you
explicitly asked users of these newsgroups to contact you for private help. These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for users to obtain FREE help from their peers. So when are you going to provide proof of these "alleged" emails. Considering your past performance, I tend to have more faith in Arno's claim of a single email (at your request) than the flood of emails thatyou describe. By "things will go back to the way they were!!!!" do you mean you want to go back to soliciting without anyone complaining? John... Visio MVP "PC Datasheet" wrote in message ink.net...

The original poster of this thread was asking for free advice on how to accomplish a task. You were out-of-line in offering your services (no matter how reasonable your fees may be), because they never asked for someone to do this for them.

The fact that your signature has a small advertisement is not a problem. The fact that you are deliberately soliciting for work, when the original poster did not ask for such solicitation, was where you stepped over the line. I think it is good to discuss these things, and get them out into the open. Some people are evidently getting a bit carried away with this, and taking it personally. I would prefer that we keep this as a non-emotional discussion of the problem. If someone carries an advertisement in their signature, but doesn't directly solicit for business, is that OK on these forums? What is the general feeling of the rest of the people who are following this discussion? Should someone directly solicit, even if the original poster is not asking for that type of assistance? These prolonged threads are not helping people work out their problems. |

My response gave the poster EXTENSIVE advice on a way to build his
application. I only offered a calendar form and calendar report to make his application better. He was free to decide whether he wanted to do this or not. If I had not offered the calendar form and report, how would the poster have known that something like this was available? Abd what is the difference between many consulyants putting their business name and URL in their signature line and when you click on their URL you go to a website offering fee-based help and my just saying contact me if you want some help? Finally, Some people are evidently getting a bit carried away with this, and taking it personally. Yes you are very correct!!

Steve,
I say, what does this have to do with your blatant and frequent advertising? You keep dodging the base issue. This has always been my point. You keep bringing up issues that aren't pertinent to the discussion. Your behavior often reminds me of children in elementary school. "He touched me" "Well, he touched me first" "did not" "did too"... Haven't you noticed that every deteriorated thread in these news groups gets off track following a post from you? A good programmer identifies patterns. A good person tries to be less disruptive (please never reply to me about anyone else being disruptive). You don't seem to understand that if a majority of the responders to questions treated these news groups as unethically as you, the news groups would become horrible to sift through for quality replies that were free. Searches in Google and other engines would be littered with advertising. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "PC Datasheet" wrote in message nk.net... OK; Duane, do you approve of this??
