Erik, Thanks for your input. I had no idea of what a troll was. I have seen the term flung about before, but I had no idea I was being a troll. So, a person who just sends an email to a list that has a valid complaint is not a troll, but if they send it with an attitude, because they are frustrated at the lack of adequit documentation accompanying the program, that's what makes them trolls. I see.
I read the Manual all the time. The misspellings, mismatched ' & "'s and overwhelming use of the _ make the Manual hard to follow sometimes. Is that intended to be an underscore or a space, I ask again and again and again? john -----Original Message----- From: Erik Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 2:16 PM To: john Cc: MySQL Lists Subject: Re: Please redo this horrible web page On Wednesday, November 28, 2001, at 02:44 PM, john wrote: > pages every day.

You are not being subjected to so much email. You chose to subscribe to this list knowing full well what that would mean and I'm sure you know how to unsubscribe. There's a digest if you can't handle it, or filter your email to an appropriate box. I delete threads whose subject lines don't interest me, it's really not that hard. And what is this "I won't read any email from those who do not have 'mysql.com' in their email addresses"? That seems mighty entitled. If you want customer support, I think MySQL AB will be happy to provide it, go to https://order.mysql.com/ . Please note that, although they have provided the documentation, mailing list, archives, and the software itself for FREE, this is something that you can pay for. You know, your suggestions are actually helpful, but the tone with which you deliver them invalidates you as a constructive critic. I think they call that sort of person a troll.
