IMHO, that might be appropriate but it was never an optimal use of the community of subscribers to this list. There have always existed better software-specific forums going back way before this particular list was created and, in the past, other cogent and helpful contributors have made the case that software-specific questions should be directed elsewhere. (You get better answers faster and don't disturb those who could care less about your particular platform.) Many people seem unaware of that, though. As a result, this list probably gets a lot less attention than it otherwise could, especially from non-ESRI users who have to filter out the ESRI fluff and from experienced ESRI users who likely would prefer not to field the (usually) elementary FAQs that appear here. In any unmoderated list, you make of it what you will...
Cheers, Bill Huber
