Oops, I thought this was the group for stand up comedians. :-) _____ From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Eric Cope Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 4:15 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Help or arrogance (Was: Re: How to overcome a boot-up endless loop?) I thought that is what Mike was saying. The world is snippy. Plug is the anomaly - the anomaly being helpful folks. Perhaps Mike should clarify before this flame war burns down the internet. Did we ever figure out the boot problem?

Context is lost in email; often the process of tracking through incorrect assumptions via limited information provided in PLUG list email requires communication skills that might seem arrogant and short, however everyone happily jumps into help, even competing to get the best answer first. While some lack a certain touchy feely humanity, others can be petty, and still others downright blunt, but everyone accepts human limitations and enjoys the association found via PLUG interactions with even the most beginner of Nixites. So, Mike, I have to disagree here also; siding the Alan's appraisal. > I strongly disagree.
