I've been following this thread and I see you all have now covered: 1) security flaws in email software, 2) the prevalence and degrees of destructiveness of certain viruses, 3) jumpered vs. jumperless flash bios on motherboards, 4) custom built vs. brand name computer systems, and 5) the relative quality of various hard drives. Over 50 meandering messages (being crossposted to 3 separate AW newsgroups no less)... and related to AW exactly how? Oh, and I nearly forgot the thread about the security of Java vs. ActiveX. You guys have heard of Usenet newsgroups, right? Believe it or not, they have newsgroups dedicated to just this sort of thing. Or would you feel too much like small fish in the big pond over there? Would discussing this stuff with people who actually know what they're talking about be too hard on your egos? Don't make me phone my pal JP about this violation of the newsgroup charter and get you all banned from here. Maybe I should just crosspost this to the Beta newsgroup and let Roland have at ya? </crabbing> ;) [View Quote] Security HoleAug 12, 1998, 1:20am

What about the "worldbuilders" and "wishlist" readers? I guess they're just lucky to share in your community discussions. >I skip threads I don't care to read quite a lot. You are free to do the >same. > >Paul How about if instead of following your advice to skip threads I instead decide to just follow your example of posting off topic in all the newsgroups. :) Get a clue Paul, there is no excuse for boorishly imposing your interests on people in 3 different newsgroups at the same time.

I'm with Veto on this one. Shamus should be thanked for asking our opinions
before he just went ahead and started making changes. We should encourage this type of behaviour from AWCOM staff and not hold Shamus personally responsible for the bad judgement of others at AWCOM. Now I just hope that those at AWCOM who are supposed to influence or make policy decisions or be some kind of customer reps will be so bold as to follow Shamus' good example and start asking opinions in here, be more forthcoming with information, and answer questions when they are asked.
