RE: [cobalt-users] Newbie Question

[Jerald C Jones <jcjones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok guys,
   I am very new to this list, and I am new to Cobalt servers.  I may be completely out of line here, but I think something needs to
be said. I have gotten a lot of valuable advice from this list, and I hope that some of the advice I have given has been usefull to
somebody.  However, are the flame wars really necessary?  I am on several email lists and recieve several hundered email messages a
day from them, I see lots of things that are not "proper" or that really irritate me, but it is so much easier to just bite my
toungue and let it be.  I don't see that weather somebody "top posts" or not is really an issue (I happen to prefer that method
because it is more effecient), and I don't think that its really that big of a problem for someone to ask a question that has
already been asked.  Also, I don't see any problem with someone being referred to the archives for an answer either.  It would seem
that we all, as professionals needing or giving help, could agree to disagree on some of these issues and let them be.  Let's
concentrate on the subject of Cobalt Server issues and we all can benefit.
