I didnt say that, i said he doesnt primarily WORK in VB.
 
Hi Cor,

Oh well, at least for a change I was not the only one who thought it not to
be appropriate. ( Ref Brian and Lorne.)

Thanks for checking this out . . . . but, despite its legality, I still
maintain that this is not an advertising space.

If I ever manage to get MVP status, which is highly unlikely, unlike Bob, I
would only use my powers for good magic ;-)


Regards - OHM


OHM,

I checked it out on the newsgroup page from Microsoft.

I think Bob is not that wrong accoording to those rules.
It is an announcement that can benefit this newsgroup.

You are free to do what you want of course as much as Bob and what
you are doing now is also in the benefit of the newsgroup.

Anyone interested in my opinion can read my blog.

Blogs rot your brain (unless your reading Raymond Chen's blog, in which case
your head will just explode).
 
Hmm.. OK, I read your blog (well, a bit of it), and I can see your point.
If other MVP's have advertised in here without getting bashed, then it's
unfair to single you out. It's easy to flame when you don't have the full
facts, though I didn't actually flame... I just thought it inappropriate...

Still, if my comments were taken that way, then I apolgise :) Oh, and I
took a look at your website... Very interesting :)

Hi Bob,

I think that this tone is what bothers some people in this newsgroup.

We are not used to it, whatever newsgroup you are active in, where it is
maybe normal behaviour.

We do not start to punish each other.

We are mostly very friendly against each other and even if not, the regulars
know we do it sometimes just to prickle the other.

We are not afraid to start a discussion. That is one of the reasons of a
newsgroup and we do that always with very much appreciation for the other
one.

I did see only one very long real flame in this newsgroup and that is more
than a month ago and before that there where months none.

Therefore, I do not like what you write on your webpage, it is in my eyes
beside the truth and gives a bad sound on your articles, when I had read it,
I did not want to see anything more from your page.

Brian and OHM did not "flame" you, they did give in a more or less friendly
tone there opinion.

It can be right or wrong.

However, than is in my opinion this the place to give your arguing why they
are wrong, not a webpage.

Just my thought,

Cor
 
ACK: Well said
