One reason why not everyone goes to ESRI tech support is because ESRI
contributes many many copies of ArcView to non-profit organizations, but the
grants DO NOT INCLUDE tech support. Those volunteer GIS workers rely on
independent GIS lists like this one.
Thanks to the many generous techies who don't mind helping.

Subject: Re: [gislist] Recent Discussions and more...
I'd like to weigh in on:
"Also, I've followed many of the discussions about what specifically this
list should discuss. For instance, specific help on products (ESRI or
otherwise) - Do you feel this is an appropriate forum? Should this be a
list more for general discussions and not specific product support?"
Like others who don't use ESRI, I find 99% of the postings completely
borring ArcGIS tech support questions. Why Arc users don't go to an ArcGIS
discussion lists, or to ESRI themselves to solve their problems amazes me.
My software company does an excellent job of answering darn near all the
inane tech questions that keep popping up here, and there is a discussion
forum for usere to discuss software specific techie problems. I don't need
to come to this list for a software answer, nor do I think this list should
be a forum for tech support. There are too many other exciting things going
on in the GIS world that merit discussion. Another words, I'd love to see
all the ESRI tech support blah, blah, blah, go to a specific ESRI tech
support site, or to ESRI themselves. That's why they charge you for tech
support!
Anyway, this list is boring bacause it has turned into an ArcGIS tech
problem site. If anyone feels differently, just go out and review the last
200 or so postings...I guarantee they ask about how do you label something
in ArcGIS, etc. Result: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
