<tongue firmly in cheek>

Can we rename general to "AbsolutelyNothingToDoWithElevateDB" so that I don't have so much trouble figuring out wether I should use general or discussion for nothing to do with ElevateDB topics?

How about I add this ?

Note:
This is just for Roy, and only Roy.

Is everyone else gone ?

Yeah ?

Okay, good.

Hey Roy, hope you're day is going well.  In case you forget, the general
forum is for technical ElevateDB questions that are of a general nature,
whereas the discussion forum is for general technical discussions related to
ElevateDB or whatever.  Have a great week !

On a more serious note - you're using newsgroup access, right ?  That's a
little tougher since the descriptions may or may not appear anywhere in the
newsreader.  The web-based forums have the descriptions listed.

Fortunately I had finished my cup of coffee before reading this. Wonderful start to the day.

I normally try reading the first few items and see everyone else is as confused as I am so take a guess Smile

I keep promising to get round to rewriting my news/mail client - its about 12 years old now. When I do I'll take account of the descriptions.

I am enjoying this thread, it has just the right the right mix of insanity and attention to detail.

However, I think the "General Discussion" NG probably should be called something like "Non-technical" or "Off Topic", (similar to Roy's suggestion ... but a bit more sensible Smiley otherwise people post technical questions there & probably don't get seen. I know I rarely look in this NG, I always start with "General" & get on to "SQL" if I have time.

General and General Discussion are just a bit too similar ...

Would you please make it clear to all that its Tim that is insane and the fact that I wear my underpants on my head and have a pencil stuck up each nostril has nothing to do with it!

I would like to further suggest that we merge the AbsolutelyNothingToDoWithElevateDB and the AbsolutelyNothingToDoWithDBISAM and the AbsolutelyNothingToDoWithEWB  newsgroups. I know Tim basically just duplicated the structure but I'm not sure what value three different off subject newsgroups delivers.

This has been asked already also - I've got some free time this week, so
I'll see what I can do.  I'm all for reducing the number of groups/forums.

What makes you think that I can spell it even if I'm not lazy?
