Hello from Gregg C Levine
I have been lurking on this list, for a good number of years now.
Sometimes even posting a comment, or a gripe. This is more along the
lines of both. I have been monitoring the traffic discussing
NDSOFTWARE's request. Both finding the original message to Bob Fink, and
the list, and everything. Sorry Mr. Deffayet, I disagree. For one, you
do need to spell out who will be using the service. Is it for your
company? Yourself? What? Who, even? Unless you can spell out neatly the
answers to my questions, I am inclined to agree with everyone else. I am
also agreeing with the people I have disagreed with early on. I might
also, add, even Master Yoda's methods of speaking isn't that confusing.
