[ic] Re: FORUM - instead of Mailing List

[JOHN WRONG]

just listen to yourself.
Why do you do SO much work???
Is organized by yourself really that good? all the work?
what is Web serices?? what is ASP? why use html or anything.
I think u would be happy with just text. Why use XML.. you can 
have your own data organized. Why have a standard?? If you are 
so happy with your own way.


>organized as my email is, I can't filter the forum, and I 
can't take the
forum with me on my laptop.

All you are doing is looking for a solution right?? Or try to 
help other right?


I dont really want to say anything on the topics. But this is 
crazy. I think all of you agree if you find the answer you are 
looking for on the list or forum you will be a happy person. 
And here is another group of people who will help us. Be happy 
about it. Thanks for the list and forum. Resources is GOOD!! 
NO??? Stop the blah blah blah blah..
