Thank you Steve for all your help

Thanks Steve, you've been exceptionally helpful and nice to me. I appreciate
every effort you've made to amend my database with your advanced knowledge
and experience. Not a lot of random people you meet off the internet on the
discussion board offer to personally review the database and make changes
themselves.
Keep up the good work .

He certainly didn't help in the only other thread I could find that was
started by this poster, "Partial data search in a column" in the "queries"
forum.

he did offer me lot of help outside of the discussion board, can't thank him
enough for his time and effort

You still have not explained the type of help you recieved or the thread it
started with.

Big freaking deal. There are literally hundreds of people who
participate in these forums who are offering free help to everyone
who posts. Steve is the only one who *ever* takes that over to "you
can pay me for more." Many of us do all sorts of things for others
for no compensation that does not show up in these forums. That
Steve might sometimes do that does not make him special at all.

The thing that makes him "special" is that he is mercenary in his
use of these newsgroups, something that violates the spirit (and the
letter) of the customs that govern these forums.

He's been politely asked not to over and over and over and over
again, but he gets really nasty claiming his right to flout the
norms of behavior.

If you think that's OK, then, well, you are not worth much as a
participant here. You don't seem to be one, anyway, except in this
suspicious thread praising Steve.

A Google search on the OP here learns that he/she has posted in 5! threads,
Two of these are the 'Thank-you-Steve'-threads...
Remains 3 threads where he participated! Wow !!

"Partial data search in a column" in ms.public.access.queries (started july 9)
"Retreiving data from another table" in ms.public.access (started july 27)
"Importing from one table to another" in ms.public.access.externaldata (started july 30, which is the same question)

In *none* of these threads Steve has participated ...
Maybe the OP *does* exist, but I consider his/hers 'contribution' here to be only *sheer utter nonsense*

And where is Steve ??? When does he show up to defend his defender ??

Arno R

I don't think it's me who's gone over-board . it's u guys who've dragged this
unnecessarily. all i'd posted was a thank u note, which was the least i
could've done for his effort. but ofcourse some people can't stand it . guess
what . it's not my problem.
watever. :P

When I want to thank someone for their help, I stand on a box in the
town centre and shout it at the top of my voice. Oh, hang on ...

well seems like we all got our different ways of being grateful for someone's
help. you'll learn once u step out of your diaper age.
Cheers
