Jim, don't distress yourself. This is very typical Australian.
When a "Technical Guru" doesn't understand something, or fears someone
might be more knowledgable than themself, they FILTER and toss insults
about the person. Most times very unfounded.
I've learnt to live with it. I can assure you, the ISPs who aren't my
clients are not doing as well as those who arepaying be $300 an hour for
consulting. So it no longer bothers me. Especially when most of the
"Filterites" are on a far lower slaray than I've even been on in my working
life - now dating back to 1980.
As you say - let it be "their" choice. I have and I get lerss noise these
days from the Aussie ISP list than ever before and all the responses I get
are form people (ISPs) who want a quick solution to a problem or wish to
contract me.
I give away a lot of my time to ISPs and end users who are not my clients.
It's all fair in the end.
Just to let you know - 17 Major AU ISPs (600-1000 users) have closed their
doors or entered into receivership in the las three months. Thist trend is
growing. None of them were or are my clients, yet the ones that are, are
all doing very well and continue to do so with less technical staff and far
fewer support calls.
Do I look worried? If anything I'm doing myself out of a job. I only see
these guys intensley for about 2-3 months. After that they start sending
me "Hello, are you still alive" email messages, often asking if there is
anything they can do to go the next step.
That's the kind of people I like to work with :) I love to watch them grow.
And these guys also realise that FILTERING out someones comments can often
lead to - missing information :) Or even MISLEADING information!
