for sure :-) You know
one of the most frustrating things as a forum mod is not knowing the answer to (or where to go to get it) for some of the higher end technical problems prersented in the forums.
frankly, I made _years_ before beeing able to use bugzilla :-). Now I can do quite easily and I'm puzzled to see the Novell devs answering (or asking for details) _minutes_ after the post :-). I had also a year ago an experience with a very high traffic news group (1000 - one thousand) post a day :-! on my ISP site, with two or 3 corps only to anwer (and some good will guys). I noticed that these corps posted with they own real e-mail, and, very politely, asked questions. relevant questions, of course (I was off the net for 3 months :-(), I was answered very well, cared of... on an other such forum (much less populated, but open) I could ask the real admin of my ISP server and have answers. this if very rewarding :-) but in our problem, we could go even further. I'm sure, time giving, you have a friendlyness with the moderators of your forum. Houghi, Jensen, Eberhart, Sonja, I never met, but through this list I feel confident with them (and I hope they do with me :-) I we could have such a relationship with forum admins, I'm sure the problems we are writing on would be much simpler :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Quelques images: http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html
