Can someone explain to me why everyone is ignoring this? Is it not clear?

By the way I am kind of glad the Jim is finally annoyed by this. Last year I was blasted for suggesting they go to their own group and leave this group for jBase questions. ;)
Ohh how things change.
Jim are you getting soft.

If there was a separate T24 list then there would still be wrong postings
into this group and redirects but the noise would be much less and people
could sign up to both if they think jbase issues are discussed sufficiently
on the t24 group.
Cheers,
Steve
When more and more mails with exclusive T24 questions came up into this
group, all we needed was some discipline and responsibility from those
posting it by mentioning T24 in the subject. This would have definitely
helped people who are not interested just to ignore without even reading the
mail. (A classic example is the latest question with the subject "Exchange
rate in MDC transaction" which would not make any sense even to a T24
person).
Discipline is something hard to practice. But it is not difficult if we
attempt.

As in, if you wish to post a question that is about T24 specifically, rather than something to do with jBASE, then PLEASE start your subject line with:
[T24]
As in:
[T24] - Please solve my problems for me as I can't be bothered to do anything myself.
Not only did you not do that, but your impertinent reply telling me that this is somehow my fault and that I am unhelpful or unsympathetic shows that you STILL haven't read or understood that bit. If you had, you wouldn't say that you didn't realize it was just for jBASE. I have been saying all along that it isn't, even though quite a few non T24 users would like it to be so! I have been advocating unity ever since T24 users started to join; many of the questions are about jBASE in some way or another, wherever they originate.
As to accusing me of not being helpful, perhaps you should read the posting stats and a few past posts, starting with this one:
http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE/browse_thread/thread/de98e547d60467fc
It is only because I don't want to separate the groups that I have tried to institute this idea of allowing people who are not interested in T24, to filter out posts. It doesn't seem that difficult a thing to pick up on as EVERY posts tells you to do this, AND it says to do this when you join the group.
When you use a forum like this you should remember the following:
1) It is operated for free and the answers that people give when they have time are free;
2) Therefore it is no substitute for your paid for support channel and you should start there first if you are desperate;
3) You have a responsibility to read a few posts and so on to get the feel for the group;
4) You have a responsibility to ask questions that supply as much information as possible;
5) You should probably not complain to the guy that started the group that you don't like him objecting to you not reading two lines of text at the bottom of every post, including your own;
I am sure someone can help you if you:
1) Supply some actual information as to why you are getting the message'
2) Supply some information about versions of software installed;
3) Use some bloody initiative;
Sorry for the rant, but perhaps this will finally draw attention to the matter. As I say in my post above, it isn't crime of the century. However it does show that one probably joined the group just to get help for oneself and not really try and help anyone else, as otherwise one would read a few other posts besides one's own.
