read their web pages, then subscribe their mail list

I am NOT a free help desk - I have NO Time
!
- I used to get far too many mails & phone calls, from
club members of various mail lists I run, attenders of club
events I organise, etc, plus strangers who'd read my web
pages, etc, all distracting & consuming valuable time.
Some was quite interesting, some I wanted to help, but it was
all Unpaid, distracting, & I don't have time, Sorry.
- If you are too incompetent to use free resources above
(& some are, & are nice people anyway), Please ask
some other friend (Not me!) I really don't have time !
-
Sorry, I do Not have time to help so many individuals:
- I take a major part in running several clubs,
numerous mail lists, servers & support software &
web help pages.
- One list has over 200 people, some of whom are
genuinely technicly incompetent (but nice people anyway),
& many who are merely too lazy to learn, & not
quite so nice, preferring to try to waste my time.
- No way can I personally support all club & list
members personally , & supporting just some just
encouraged more complaints & requests for help from
the rest, so I now don't help any. Ask (& reward)
some other friend to help you eg in subscribing etc.
