ThsITC Company Profile
Locked
 
|
The admininstrator kindly *forwarded* the COMPANY Profile of my Company
(ThsITC) as an attachment to this LIST :-) Thanks a lot :-) Question (to all): Why do we *not allow* attached files simply, as in other communities I am a member of? Tom. PS: Please do read my Company profile! ReyC and PP (The Program Porting Machine) will be commercially releases 1.09.2010 (European notation) :-) -- Thomas Schneider Projects ReyC & LOGOS on www.KENAI.com _______________________________________________ Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email]

Yes, the Netrexx listserver administrator did you a favor by allowing
you to re-post a note with an attachment. As the administrator for several listservers myself, I think that was a well-intentioned mistake for at least four reasons: 1. Attachments aren't free. They take up space on the listserver and count against any size or byte-transfer limits to which the listserver might be subject. Text attachments buy the listserver nothing, and can and should be replaced (if absolutely necessary) by a carefully edited cut-n-paste into the body of your posting. 2. Non-text attachments (images, executables, databases, etc.) should be avoided because they are insecure, possibly dangerous, and may require special software to interpret (like Microsoft Word). A simple listserver does not have the ability to validate such attachments, so the safe course of action (and despite your assertion, the policy on most listservers) is to strip them from any posting, or to quarantine the posting for review by the administrator. 3. A company profile steps well over the line of appropriate content. 4. You, in particular, seem to have great difficulty understanding what "inappropriate content" is. You used Kenneth's innocent and very specific question about the latest version of rexx2nrx to launch into full marketing mode, once again spamming the entire list with advertising for Rey and your company. You have a website, Thomas. Use it. Place your company profile there (if it's not already) along with the voluminous listings, status reports, and all the other detritus with which you have inundated us (again). It would have been more than sufficient to post a single simple reply to Kenneth's question, pointing him (and anyone else on the Netrexx list who is at all interested) to the status files on your website. Being asked about your product does not grant you carte blanche to circumvent the appropriate content rules of the discussion group. -Chip- On 6/30/10 15:32 Thomas Schneider said: > The admininstrator kindly *forwarded* the COMPANY Profile of my Company > (ThsITC) as an > attachment to this LIST :-) > > Thanks a lot :-) > > Question (to all): > > Why do we *not allow* attached files simply, as in other communities I > am a member of? > > Tom. > > PS: Please do read my Company profile! > > ReyC and PP (The Program Porting Machine) will be commercially releases > 1.09.2010 (European notation) :-) > Ibm-netrexx mailing list [hidden email] |

Congratulations Thomas, on having your company selected as an IBM
Independent Software Vendor. IBM Partnerworld is an entirely appropriate venue in which to market ReyC and any other for-profit activities of ThsITC, unlike the Netrexx and RexxLA discussion groups. What you seem to fail to appreciate is that these discussion groups are the quiet, green, leafy parks in an Internet urban landscape dominated by a cacophony of advertising and incessant marketing. These parks are places of consultation, collaboration, exploration, and learning, not yet another group of captive eyeballs to whom you can try to sell something. To extend from the metaphor to the concrete, you could have provided us the "advanced notice" you mention, by posting the following once: "I am happy to report that ThsITC has been selected as an IBM Independent Software Vendor. Please visit our website at www.thsitc.com to view our Company Profile, software and service offerings, and contact us if we can be of service." It would then have been sufficient (and perfectly acceptable) to append something like the following to your signature: "Author of rexx2nrx, ReyC, DB-123 and other porting and migration aids. See www.thsitc.com (an IBM ISV) for more information." That would have been a more than adequate "advanced notice" of your good news. From then on, your signature lines would have been sufficient to remind readers of your contributions, and how to contact you if they should have need of your services. And the tranquility of the park would have been maintained. -Chip- On 7/1/10 21:28 Thomas Schneider said: > Hello Chip again.... > > This will be the last mail (with attachments) ti either the ibm-netrexx > and/or the REXXLA Group. > > Starting 2 weeks ahead, I will be an IBM ISV (Independent Software > Vendor)with my own IBM ISV ID, > there at IBM Partnerworld ...... > > I will never send you advance release info again, when you don't like ... > > Thomas Schneider. > =================================================================== > Am 01.07.2010 21:11, schrieb Thomas Schneider: >> The new www.thsitc.com webssite will go alive next weekend. >> >> Hans Widerlechner, a compagnnion of mine, is doing this... >> >> Also then the new web-site is alive, ThSITC will become an IBM ISV >> (IBM Independent Software Vendor) there >> at IBM Parnterworld..... >> >> Sorry that I did try to keep you informed in *advance* of this facts.... >> Thomas Schneider. >> ====================================================================================== >> >> Am 01.07.2010 09:29, schrieb Chip Davis: >>> Yes, the Netrexx listserver administrator did you a favor by allowing >>> you to re-post a note with an attachment.

Hello Chip, gain ... (and all others on this group)
The Problems I do have currently is that www.thisitc.com is *not yet ready* Johnnes Widerlehner, in my group, and I am working very hard to get www.thsitc.com ready, of course. Frankly speaking, I did like to try to keep you informed *advance release* When I did anything wrong, with this effort, and when i did *break any rules* (which I am **NOT** in detail aware of!) ... then I do apologize! As it looks now, we will ge *live* with www.thsitc.com in the next couple of weeks (say: End July). I will then, of course, put all news only to this, my new, home-page, ans reference it *only* by links in any further Conversations with www.rexxla.org *and* ibm-netrexx.org All of you: Please *do accept my apologies* for thinking, that I can use REXXLA and ibm-netrexx *as a marketing* vehicle... I will *never*, repeat *never* do the same fault again :-) Tom (Thomas Schneider) ==================================================================================== Am 02.07.2010 04:27, schrieb Chip Davis: > Congratulations Thomas, on having your company selected as an IBM > Independent Software Vendor. > > IBM Partnerworld is an entirely appropriate venue in which to market > ReyC and any other for-profit activities of ThsITC, unlike the Netrexx > and RexxLA discussion groups. > > What you seem to fail to appreciate is that these discussion groups > are the quiet, green, leafy parks in an Internet urban landscape > dominated by a cacophony of advertising and incessant marketing.
