I'm not sure what any of these accusations have to do with your advertising
in public news groups. Apparently you have trouble identifying and focusing
on the main point of contention.

Salad is right that Arno R is such a small person that he thinks polluting
the newsgroup with his garbage harassing me is going to make him a big
man. That's what Salad meant when he told Arno R to grow up.

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. You drew the idiot Arno R in and he started sending me emails to my
office. You get Arno R and his goons John Marshall and Randy Harris to stop
harassing me and get Arno R to quit sending emails to my office and things
will go back to the way they were!!!!

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.

I found this under, well, Rules of Conduct. It starts with this statement,
and then has the next statement close to the end of the page (which is
probably why nobody gets far enough down to read it).

**********
Rules of conduct
We hope that you find the time you spend in Microsoft's Community Web
sites
to be useful and fun. To ensure that everyone has the best possible
experience, we've established a few guidelines.

Advertising/Solicitation: These communities were created as a forum for
providing peer-to-peer assistance on Microsoft products and services. We
ask
that you refrain from posting advertisements or solicitations that do not
pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of the newsgroup or chat.
**********

Now, I may be wrong on this, but peer-to-peer usually indicates a free
service provided between equals. Sometimes it is called professional
courtesy. I am the first one to applaud anyone who operates a programming
business, but this is simply the wrong place to advertise. If someone
directly asks for some names of people who do programming, then it would
be
appropriate to speak up about your company. 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.

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?

Advertising/Solicitation: These communities were created as a forum for

**********

These forums are for providing peer-to-peer assistance, which is defined as
freely given assistance, no strings, no guarantees. When someone asks for
advice on how to do something, that is not the time to offer your non-free
assistance, it is time to offer free assistance. If they ask for names of
individuals or companies that can do this for them (they realize it is beyond
their capability), then that is a time to offer your company's services (for
a reasonable fee, of course).

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. That is the distinction I am making, is how the original
poster frames their question. The intended use or purpose of the original
question is for free advice. Your offer of non-free advice/services is in
direct violation of what the original poster was asking for.

**********
I am attempting to build a database that will generate a task list for
multiple workstations. I have tasks that need to be completed either daily,
on a certain day of the week, or mutiple days of the week. I am unclear how
to associate the task(s) with the appropriate frequency.

Also, I would like to have the query use the system clock to determine the
appropriate day of the week.

Thoughts?
**********

This was the original posting. I do not see, anywhere, that the posting
asks for some commercial site/person that can do this for them. The posting
is asking for freely given advice (no guarantees, according to the forum
rules), that could help them solve this problem. This is where you stepped
over the line. If you want to keep your company name in your signature, I
have no problem with that. But you directly solicited the original poster,
with this:

**********
I have a week calendar form and report module. It could be used to display
the schedule of tasks for your workstations in a calendar layout. As the
module name implies the form and report look like a page torn off a
calendar. I can implement my calendar form and report module in your
database for a very reasonable fee. If you are interested, contact me at my
email address below and I will send you a screenshot.
**********

If, in your advice, you had left out this particular paragraph, I think you
would have been following the forum rules completely. 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

Yes you are very correct!! Arno R takes it so personally that he has been
sending unwanted emails to my office. That's what Salad meant when he told
Arno R to grow up and get a life.

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.
