Subject: Re: [gislist] software-specific questions
Hi Bill,
With the hopes this doesn't turn into another "session", I'd like to
point out
that the reason I use this list, as I suspect do many others, is that
you almost
ALWAYS get an answer here, whereas the various ESRI lists are more often
than
not unresponsive to the "elementary" queries. For a couple of years I
would
send to this and a couple of ESRI related lists and rarely ever got a
response
from the others. I don't even try on the ESRI related lists any more.
This is a phenomenal resource of helpful, experienced GIS users who
don't mind
helping out the newbies and I applaud them for their generosity. I know
I offer
help whenever I can, though my expertise is not as great as many who
lurk here.
Cheers,
Rick

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
