CompuServe Messages

Donald, Joe was not being insulting to anyone, and I think you owe him an apology. You must keep in mind that the forums are provided by Autodesk for support and discussion of our products. We provided space for the SC2000 project to encourage discussion and development of something that was of interest to the people who use our products and frequent the forum. However, the forum still belongs to Autodesk, and the guidelines we set must be followed. We as SYSOPS of the Forum are looking at things from a slightly different viewpoint, and that has to do with the mechanics of the forums, specifically, space. There is actually a limited amount of space available for messages and library files. When one individual starts to post numerous messages that begin to drift very far from the reason for the forum's existence, we start to get concerned that others will not get the help and utility from the forums that they need. Each message posted takes a slot and bumps off an older message. Lately the time a message would stay on the forum got very short, and this significantly decreases the usefulness of the forum to many others here. Please understand that we are also making an effort to accomodate the needs of this discussion group and the SC2000 project. For now, please refrain from personal attacks on my staff. It isn't an easy job to go through 250 messages a day and move them around from section to section, especially when the messages are popping up all over the board.
