From: Michael Dillon <michael@memra.com> Sure it has. But a lot of professionals have the attitude that details need to be hashed out discreetly in private so that a polished, professional front can be shown in public.
Let's look at this statement and discuss professionalism a little for fun.
ok tim, lets do that but just for fun :-) exactly how should the professional react to the following: [an earlier message from tim]...
Thanks for all the spam.....
these posting are like kindergarden of IP users with little answers like:
" please keep in mind that pings add traffic to the net "
Blah, blah. blah. I'm sure I'm not the only one on the net that considers these little ' oh, tie your shoe before walking ... so called, help messages ' and the ' make sure to put all the hair in your pants before zipping your zipper..... notes ... SPAMtastic
Honestly, how some people who just learned how to PING or do BGP now believe that everyone else on the net needs their advice on the net is a mystery.
a good manager praises in public, resolves 'personal' differences in private but that didn't work - no response. perhaps if we had ever met i might have seen some cause for the tirade above - we haven't. perhaps if i were some newby that "just learned to bgp" i'd have crawled back into some hole - i'm not. so forgive me if i have trouble sitting idly by while tim "waxes poetic" about the meaning of life and how to be a professional in the 90's. in your own words tim, "spamtastic" Jeff Young young@mci.net
