RE: Apologies and thanks

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

 

The variety of discussions and questions is what makes this list THE place to be.

 

If someone does post an OT question, which has been known to happen on rare occasions, it almost always gets a swift courteous response unlike c.h.a where "RTFM Asshole" seems to be a common response.

 

Here people actually read what you have written and reply to that without assuming you are in the US and can buy <whatever> for <cheap_price> at <US_store>.

 

Even when a post is OT it is generally connected to Computers/Home Entertainment/electronics in some (sometimes distant) way. The [Project] posts are a bit heavy going, I dont have a problem with the hardware bit but Patrick/Keiren/Ant/MarkH have lost me with the netwok protocol bit. Good job I'm doing hardware then ;-)

 

As you say everyone has something to offer. We have Unix/Linux programmers, VB & ASP Developers, C programmers, etc. All these skills are very valuable to the group. Stick around, interesting things are starting to happen with HA in the UK.

 

Keith

Subject: [ukha_d] Apologies and thanks

Firstly apologies for numerous off topic posts.

 

Secondly, I have considered un-subscribing from the list recently, as from a Home Automation perspective it is more than a little hard-core for me - 

 

However, I really do feel that I've become part of a community (even during the occasional .mp3 fight with Mark :) ) and would miss you all if I did leave. I belong to half a dozen mailing lists, and frequent a dozen or so groups on the Usenet on a regular basis. This is the only list where I genuinely feel I'm talking with friends, and I think the numerous off topic posts made by all of us on occasion is a symptom of this. It doesn't happen anywhere else for fear of "Net nazis" pouncing on posters.

 

Apart from that it is one of the best PC support forums on the 'net!

 

I do feel I've got some expertise in some areas, so I'll stick around and contribute where I can.

 

And if anyone finds themselves passing through Surrey and wants to find out what real home cinema sounds like, they'll always be welcome.

 

Tim.
