If the above is a reference to my first post in this thread *I* think your interpretation of my request and your judgement are both faulty. JMHO of course. . . ;) > Bringing freeware to our attention is *equally* as important as > freeware commentary. ISTM the "importance" of the various types of (on topic) posts is a matter of personal preference. I imagine most people here know what THEY think is important. I suspect most people here are not interested in my preferences. (EOT for me.)

Mr Bottoms you're like a yapping chihuahua. If you have a right to post what you want then why can't you let Yrrah have the same right? > All of these requests for others to do something more other than what > was given freely are not informative, very lazy, pushy, in poor taste, > usually designed more to point out what they consider flaws in one's > post and generally obnoxious.

Why don't you follow your own suggestion, "Stop demanding something from others or telling them how ... they should post."

Neither is there a rule or guideline saying it's a bad thing to ask for more info. wasbit has directly answered the questions, but for some reason there are also several dozen posts about the questions themselves (including this one from me).

Good. Are there any on the list you've used and find particularly nice? > He did not say he had used them all. He said he hadn't used any of them, in response to the questions. Other people who have used some of them are discussing them, so it's a pretty good thread, albeit with a lot of noise about the questions being asked in the first place. [snip more netkopping] |
