[AOLSERVER] apology
Xavier Bourguignon
dishonest or uncivil, I guess I have to learn more of your language.
Sorry all.
I suppose I won't be welcome here anymore, so thank you to everybody
who helped in the last few weeks, it was great. I have learned a lot
about programming, Tcl, Web servers, etc...
Hopefully, there are other aolserver lists or forum out there.
Again, sorry and thank you.
Bye

To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <list...@listserv.aol.com> with the
body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message. You can leave the Subject: field of your email blank.
Fenton, Brian
I have enjoyed your posts and would be sorry to see you going. The AOLServer community already has enough problems without scaring off new developers, so I would ask you to reconsider your decision and continue to post your questions and ideas. I am sure what happened was a once-off incident.
Warm regards

I think that leaving is the worst thing you can do at the moment. Stay
with us. After all, nobody is upset with you. Yes, nobody is upset.
And, well, after all those e-mails we can say that everyone knows you,
and what you can and can't do.
So I don't see any logical reason to leave. You better keep working with
AOLServer, until you can tame it to fulfill your needs. :-)
Kind Regards,
Juan José

Apology accepted, no problem. Thank you.

Oh, c'mon, this is a fairly small list and I don't know of anyone here
who won't accept an honest apology. Now that we know you're new to
programming, as well as our own small corner of the programming
universe, I'm sure people will be happy to help you.
Though some of that help may come in the form of ... "you should
really read this .." etc.
Actually my first recommendation is to do what I did when I taught
myself programming back in (oh lord) 1971 - read programs and figure
out how they work, and ask questions if there's something you read
that you don't understand. And play and experiment, too.
If you're already doing this, please don't be offended my by
recommending you do what you're already doing, though, OK?

I only started learning English about 18 months ago, I have a long way
to go yet, So after analysing what has happened, I guess some turn of
phrases I have used or others have used may have got lost in
translation on my side.
In terms of installing aolserver, I remember asking some questions on
the mailing list as I was completely lost, not only that, I had only
used Linux for 3 or 4 months by then, that didn't help not knowing
Unix systems.
But I try to get by with the little knowledge I have on this, after
all, it can't be that difficult, if one person can learn something,
anyone can as long as it is not rocket science.
So I have decided to stick with you guys. You are a great group of
people and I have learned a lot from you already, you are right that
it would be a mistake to stop now and look somewhere else.
Thank you

Plus I think there's basically no one else.
I'd say 90% of the AOLServer expertise in the world is contained in this list. That might be a conservative
estimate.

I admire your tenacity to communicate with us in OUR language, when we
would likely be hopeless trying to communicate to you in yours.
I think, regardless, we should extend each other a bit more courtesy and
understanding. Rather than assume that someone is trying to be
offensive, assume they are innocent and move past the words and try to
understand their meaning. And, respond to that.
Now, back to business ... lets talk about code!

This list plus the OpenACS community plus the naviserver fork's lists likely
contain 100% of the AOLserver expertise.
This is also the busiest this list has been in a long time. While I no longer
run OpenACS in production, I do still have several AOLserver installs going
strong. Some of them are AOLserver 2.3. Yes, AOLserver is just that stable;
those servers have been running over ten years and are still getting active
(internal) use.
