Hay, at least I said that I thought, not that I KNOW it might work!

Subject: mottos, was: Re: introduction


> Janina, you and Kirk should post theese kinds of responses to the
braillenote list. There are on average 2 people a day there that give
thoughtless answers. Worse, they don't say they think they're correct, they
say they are correct. No one from Pulsedata bothers to correct theese
responses. I have a few times posted the correct answers there along with my
motto which is the same as Kirk's, and some people there wrote me back that
they don't like the way I respond with corrections. Theese were not people
from Pulsedata, they were other subscribers to the list. Besides, Pulsedata
supposedly has a list archive, which I have never been able to find. I'm not
alone, because there are newbys that have not looked for the archive, or
they couldn't find it like me. They always ask the same questions over and
over again, and even the people who will post a response to just about
anything don't bother to post answers again to questions that get asked day
in and day out.
