[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] So long, fair well, auf weidersehn, good bye
 My typing mistake. It was 1993 when I started Empowering You! (I was self-employed selling computers to large corporations back then, but I was selling multi-user Macromation computers and using CPM (there's a '/' in the name some place, but it's been so long that I forget where), not Windows 3.1.) I've been thinking about this all day. And now the xml-dev responses I am getting completely confirm my decision. I have decided to stop responding and stop trying to help people in the xml-dev list on-list. Just being me and just having a company name of Empowering You! is disruptive to your xml-dev list. No, I'm not changing the company name for those people that object to it. And no I don't think I should be asked to stop using my company name below my name. Others who write books also put a tag line on their email here, so I don't think that's a big deal either. My tag line is much smaller than many peoples'. (just look at Ann's email, one of the people complaining about mine, and you'll note she has her company name, website, and tag line also.(see hers below)) But it seems to be a big deal in this list, and it bothers me to continually cause problems just being here. So this is my last email to the list. I will still be listening and if I think I can help someone and no one else is helping you, then you might get an off-list email with my suggestion. If you don't like it then delete it and email me that you don't want to receive any further emails from me and I won't email you again to try to assist you. Now, please get back to regular xml-dev discussions. I'm gone so there is no need to talk about me or Empowering You! or the horrors of enjoying Microsoft and .NET. I am, as usual, eager to hear your discussions and enthusiastic about learning from you all. No hard feelings on my part and I hope none on yours. Best of luck to ALL of you (not an exaggeration this time either) :-) in your xml-dev adventures! (Microsoft, you can still send me that $10000 check I asked for in my last email. But even if you send it, sorry, I'm not going to go back to responding in the xml-dev list. Just wanted to be fair and tell you up front before cashing the check I know you want to send to me just for being me. (I find it hard to believe some of you probably still think I'm a Microsoft employee.)) Thanks, Pam Pam Ammond Empowering You! website: http://www.empoweringyou.com Please check out the "Wow!

There's a little thing in most emailers called 'personalities', or something similar. The ability to use that (and therefore use a personal name, vs. a business name for email) on list correspondence -- especially in places like xml-dev, would probably be beneficial. Here things *are* personal. Ann ----- Ann Navarro, WebGeek, Inc. http://www.webgeek.com say what? http://www.snorf.net/blog
