—-<<Sean,
Please don't post your phone number or address in the public area. CompuServe
and Hash don't think it wise. This is for your own safety.
I have moved your message into a private area of the forum where you and Steve
can see it but it is out of the public eye.>>–

Bruce, are you saying that I can't use the Compuserve that I pay extremely well
for, for my own communications as I see fit – as long as it's only benefitting
other Compuserve users?
I realize that Compuserve would like me to spend hours scrolling through the
dozens of forums I infrequently visit, but if someone wants my specific advice,
I'll certainly offer to let them e-mail or telephone me. If you have a problem
with this
PLEASE CALL ME AT MY HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER WHICH IS (415) 759-7540!!!
Otherwise, it's likely to be weeks before your other paying customers get a
response. Forgive me if I think $100 or so a month is more than enough to spend
with CIS for the priveledge of passing out free advice.

Sean,
I'm sure Bruce meant no offense when he pointed that the public posting of
one's home phone number is not a practice CIS encourages. The recent piece on
20/20, or one of those other tv magazine programs, pointed quite well how such
postings can lead to grief.
As for email vs. forum responses to questions, we've always felt that we have
an above average group of members in the grahpics areas, and a lot of
subscribers learn a great deal from reading other's questions and the responses
provided.
I can honestly say that in the 3+ years that I have been around these areas I
have never seen CIS do anyting that was designed to increase the amount of
online time a subscriber had to use. Quite the contrary, they have gone out of
their way to promote programs like TAPICS and other navigator programs that
dramaticly reduce a member's online time.
Hope you don't let this keep you from frequenting these areas! We all benefit
from the expertise someone of your experience brings to the discussions.
