Hahahaha, goes to show you, no one is perfect.  (I couldn't get the
consulting address, but forgot to change it here)

I love it the typical spamer's matra ", please don't waste your
time reading this"  Sure why should we waste our time reading this.  You
didn't bother wasting your time by reading the charter of this group.  Hey
why don't you not waste anybody's time and not post inapproriate groups

I had a problem that was getting #$%!! frustrating - Pierce came over
and drank about a liter of coffee while he tackled the situation. I
think he knows a lot, is willing to take on nasty network jobs that we
mortals are poorly equipped to handle, and charges a fair rate.

Maybe you don't think he should advertise here, but I'm a beneficiary of
it and am glad he did.

I just have to wonder how competent a supposed computer 'tech' is when
(a) he doesn't know his own eMail address. (!!)
(b) doesn't know how to cancel a usenet posting. (!!?!)

You'd be surprised how many people would actually be able and willing to
help you for free. Or in exchange for a small favor you'd be able to to
them in exchange. Or as I always saw to folks when thay want to repay me -
"You're welcome - pass it on!"

Regards,
Greg

wonder away, while you're doing that, I'll be fixing problems...

>(a) he doesn't know his own eMail address. (!!)

I have 16 of them, I know every one...and their associated passwords.
True, I make mistakes (small ones), but I also am the one who fixes
them.  I've never left a problem for others to fix.  NEVER

>(b) doesn't know how to cancel a usenet posting. (!!?!)

And you, I'm sure, know everything there is to know about computers,
every program on the market, and all the various hardware devices???
Answer me this (Anyone)...how many octal seconds is allocated to a
COBOL "IF" statement in the EXEC8 operating system?  If you don't
know, then we now know how "Competent" you are too.

I've been doing just that for many years...
Installing Windows 3.1 (back in 1994) for "Dinner".
Recovering a erased hard drive in exchange for Lunch.
Setting up a home business in exchange for a few "gift baskets" (the
business sold them).
And, yes, doing many other tasks for free!!!

Relax.  I hate SPAM as much as anyone.  I found your original post to be
quite tasteful.  It wasn't anything like all those obnoxious Cox SPAMs in
HTML.  Please just keep it short, sweet, to the point, at least close to
on-topic, PLAIN TEXT, and most important, very very infrequent.
