Re: Got absolutely no help from the newsgroups

Everyone who uses these newsgroups will be greatly relieved to know that you
will not be troubling us any more.

James: Your note somehow implies that someone in the Newsgroups actually
paid attention to my original posts requesting assistance. On the contrary,
I believe that in fact no one was bothered on wit with my post because no one
even bothered to post any kind of reply whatsoever. If you actually get some
results, then more power to you. I am more interested in getting real
results quickly from people who actually respond and know something useful.
Thanks for helping me demonstrate how useful the Newsgroups are since you've
still added only the negative and absolutely nothing positive. (You actually
had the opportunity to show some interest in what my original problem was all
about. But NNNNNNNooooooooooooo . . . . .)

If it is a 'trouble' to you to respond to requests for help, why are you
here?

You have no authority to speak for 'us', if you mean the helpful people who
resp[ond to requests.

Well, Edward, thank you for a very astute response to our "troubled"
discussion member. And please accept my gratefulness for all of those folks
like yourself who actually respond to help requests. I have to say that it's
very frustrating to use a discussion group where one would think that someone
would respond only to find out that no one responded, not even an additional
inquiry (until this discussion occurred and "aa" finally asked what was the
original problem). And if you are interested, you might want to scroll back
or up to see all of the info I received from my post at CNET's Windows XP
forum at help.com. I don't know if I will actually succeed based on the
advice, but it's all very good advice about checking and maintaining one's
computer. And I am very sure that it will be useful for many other things in
the future. The unfortunate thing to me is that none of the info came from
any source here at Newsgroups in direct response to my inquiry and help
request. (Oh, I'm sure that if I spent a great deal of time searching
Newsgroups, I probably could have cobbled the information together, but how
inefficient is that?)

Maybe my query will be answered, maybe not. But whatever the result I know
that I will not be using these same facilities to publish unjustified
criticism and accusations of 'non-performance' at the volunteers who
contribute their time and expertise to assist Windows users. Your
inconsiderate and misdirected venting of frustration and anger only serves
to discourage those who would otherwise have considered helping you and
others, and that's why we will all be happy to see you go, your coterie of
fawning sycophants notwithstanding.

Gentlemen,
May I suggest you move over to LINUX. Great operating system, very reliable,
very secure and plenty of help out there
