RE: [Plug] what do people want out of plug talks
|
As I am sitting here listening. I read earlier that you wanted to create
more meetings in the month. why don't you create two meetings a month: One
for beginners, and one for more advanced. This way you can get in
everything you want and you don't have an overwhelming amount of people at
each meeting.

That would be me. :)

Absolutely, and I think the talks accomplish this, in my short (5-6 months)
experience with them.

I think the talks are outstanding, and the Q & A very helpful. I hope to be
smart enough to give my own talk someday :)
As for the F*** YOU: I think Mr. Joseph Catania should not post to this list
again, and should not attend meetings. This vitriol appears to be his only
post; it is unwelcome, unhelpful, and insulting to a very good group of
professional people. I am the lowlyest of novices, and even I know what RTFM
means. If one takes issue with the jargon, there is a proper way to express
this. If you can't do that, then get out of the kitchen already. A technical
help group is not the place for flames.
