<DIV><FONT size=3>Thank you for your input, all I wanted was a straight answer
to an easy question. It's quite apparent to me now that I did over react and I
apologize, not only to John Bradley, but to the USPS listing. I was out of
line and acted out of anger.</FONT></DIV>

here!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<P>All,</P>
<P> As one who has spent a lot of time interpreting
instructions from technical people to non-technical people, I believe I can
see reason in both contentions here, just a technology gap between them. </P>
<P> When the first person asked if they should keep
8.0.1 or wait for the next release, he wanted an answer that at least began
with something like this... "No, we already have the fix prepared in version
8.0.3." THEN, the second person could go on to explain how it is found and
downloaded and installed for optimum use.</P>
<P> At this time of year, there are a lot of new
commanders and other officers that are having their first experience with any
internet based function of the USPS other than possibly getting a "list" of
one sort or another, and it seems relatively few use these lists, compared to
the number of people we have in responsible positions in the organization.</P>
<P> The many people like John who have little
experience with computers and are now thrust, by a new office in the USPS,
into working with things like DB2000 that are not only completely unfamiliar
to them, but on an unfamiliar medium, the internet. Someone saw fit to make
this person a commander or the like and we need to respect their choice and
help their squadron (as a team would) to be a stronger link of our overall
fabric. None of us will benefit from tearing new holes anywhere in the
fabric!!! We simply need to understand that we are all different and listen
carefully to questions to interpret on what level the best answer would be
presented to achieve understanding.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>VERY sincerely yours,</P>
<P>Karl E. Peters, Webmaster</P>
<P>Golden Isles Sail & Power Squadron (<A class=rvts6
