Hi Allen,

Denying someone there rights would not be something I would normally
do but if someone next to me started shouting 'Fire' in a crowded
theater, I would forcibly stop him.

Of the stated purposes of this list, under which one does grousing
fit? Complaining about a feature with the intent of getting it
improved could be constructive if others express the same complaint. A
user complaining about a feature and learning that s/he is using it
wrong can help that user and maybe others. Complaining that TMG lacks
a capability might get that capability added in the future.

I have no clue what good it would do to complain that a feature has
not been added when it has already been announced that the feature
will be added. Is there any chance that this thread will somehow get
reports released sooner? I think the chances of it having a negative
effect are higher. If a message can serve no purpose, why post it? At
the least, such messages should be labeled OFF TOPIC just as I have
done with this reply that doesn't help TMG users either.

If Ron has the right to grouse about delays, David, Bill, and all
others have the right to grouse about Ron's grousing. I stand on my
rights to add one more silly message to a silly thread. <g>
