A matter of personal preference? I'm trying to fight the feeling that the folks who want to continue using this list as tech support are not completely anal, but it its a hard battle.

The basic point is that there are so many other places to get tech support, and this list is not a tech support list. Cry about ARC whatever, to ARC specific users via ARC specific user lists. Let's see, there's only about 30 of them. How you get a color pallete from within ArcGIS is not a GIS-list serve question. Who has the best GIS education, is GIS certification worth it, the OGC, etc., are dicussions the list was designed to facilitate. It ain't a civil rights issue, nor rocket science to figure this one out.
What the &^^ the Yankees and soceer have to do with this issue is beyond me.

I think you'll find the ESRI product support forums very active. Why people want to ask ESRI questions here must be a matter of personal preference. Personally, I find support.esri.com to have nearly all the ESRI specific answers for me. However, ESRI is GIS related, and this is a GIS list.
When talking baseball, don't be surprised when the Yankee fans show up.
(or futbol and Real Madrid, this is a worldwide list after all.)
