do I need more indexes?

[Jeff Boyce]

That doesn't sound like a commitment to abide.

A simple on-line search with "rules of conduct" and "microsoft" will lead
straight to Microsoft's Rules of Conduct concerning the newsgroups.

.... or are you offering to pay for the research?<G!>

Did you adhere to the rules of conduct when you posted this?


Advertising/Solicitation: ...... We ask that you refrain from posting
unsolicited advertisements that do not pertain directly to the intended use
and purpose of the newsgroup or chat.

So why don't you attack purveyers of shoes, watches and other merchandise
rather than attacking me when I offer help to OPs?

And where does the rules of conduct precludes folks from offering to help
OPs for a fee?

Advertising/Solicitation: These communities were created as a forum for
providing peer-to-peer assistance related to using Microsoft products and
services. We ask that you refrain from posting unsolicited advertisements that
do not pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of the newsgroup or
chat.


And please don't use the tired canard that your solicitations are the
"intended use". If you'll note, you are the ONE AND ONLY SINGLE PERSON posting
such solicitations.

As compared to vendors of shoes, watches and other merchandise that no MVP
cares one iota about????????

Why aren't you admonishing Arno R?

Why aren't you admonishing Visio John? Is it because he is a good-old-boy
MVP??

Irrelevant clap-trap, no one is trying to sell such items in the Access NGs.
Stop soliciting in the groups and everyone's happy. Simple. Are you
*really* that strapped for cash? We can have a whip round for you if it
will shut you up. And don't cite anyone's postings attacking you, they do
it because they're sick to the back teeth of you, and in any case, you've
done far more than anyone else as can be seen here:

[BruceM]

You're right, he should avoid some of the language he uses, and stick to the
facts such as your documented history, which would make the point more
effectively anyhow.

You could post the same link John V. did if you feel the language is
inappropriate, but if you do so you can expect the same right back at you.
As for personal attacks, you have posted that "BruceM is wasting your time"
or some such, and other things of the sort with others, so if you decide to
use the Rules of Conduct to admonish others you should be prepared to see it
come right back at you when you indulge in sniping.

Still not hearing any commitment to abide by those Rules.

Regardless of whether others chose to (and take hits if they don't), will
you?

[Jeff Boyce]

Thanks, I believe I have your answer.

You are willing to apply the Rules of Conduct to others but not to yourself.

Don't be surprised if folks remind you again that soliciting work is against
the Rules and/or etiquette of these newsgroups.

Regards

Jeff

Steve,

What you are doing reminds me of telling the person at the restaurant that I
would like the non-smoking section because I want to smoke in a place that
hasn't been smoked up by other smokers.

The only reason why your solicitaitons here would be seen is because
everybody else (except you) has refrained from soliciting. And you want to
put them in something that people actually read.......the reason people
actually read these forums is because they contain answers instead of
solicitations.

 

[Steve]

Thanks, I believe I have your answer.

You want to try and apply the Rules of Conduct to me but not to Arno R and
Visio John. Of course Visio John is a good-old-boy MVP. You're a hyprocrite!

 

[BruceM]

It doesn't especially bother me. My point is only that your efforts may be
more effective if you don't hand out ammunition

It is tiresome, that's for sure.

 

[Keith Wilby]

You're a <snip>

I doubt anyone is going to agree with you or come to your support in your
slime-ball accusations about anyone. Ever. However, as always, your
inability to follow a simple rule, poor conduct, unprofessionalism and lack
of integrity will have prospective clients fleeing at a rate of knots.
You've already shot yourself in both feet, I wonder what's next.

 

[Steve]

If it is so tiresome then why don't you just let it go? You alone make it
tiresome for yourself! If you want to be a self-appointed policeman, chase
after the purveyors of shoes, watches and other merchandise. Their posts
have no relevance to the intent of the newsgroup. They are the ones in
violation of the rules of conduct.

Wrong yet again. I too find it tiresome and I'm willing to bet a month's
salary that 99% of others here do too. But then people like you appear to
enjoy irritating others. It's the trait of a child that most people grow
out of by the time they're 12.
