"Let's see, there's only about 30 of them." Would you mind sharing them
with the group? I have no problem going somewhere else, just point the
way...

Subject: [spamcatcher] Re: [gislist] GISlist Focus
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.
Example:

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.

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.)
