Faxing Having DSL vs No Dial Tone

It was hardly insecurity. It was curiosity. You were the one who started off
with a strong indictment of the help provided in this thread to date. Why,
you were "appalled" at how bad it was. Since I try my best to be helpful
when I post, I went back to see what I and the others had done so badly. I
just couldn't find any information that had been left out or that was even
all that unclear.
You'd never get a flame war from me. Heck, I am most grateful for any other
helpful posts that are made in this group and hope you keep doing so. We
need all the help we can get. I most certainly welcome any clarifications to
my posts because it's hard to know at what technical level the original
poster might be. Most posters are likely above mine, actually, since I don't
work in this field at all. It might go over better, however, if you did so
without insulting everyone who posted before you.

Russ,

In response to your obvious insecurity, as seen by your sarcasm in the
first
sentence below;

Thank goodness you rescued us. What part of your post did you not find
in previous replies?

You ask, "What part of your post did you not find in previous replies?"

Well, for one, clarity. There was no single post that showed this end
user
all of his options, nor was any post a simple link to the destination of
the
information referenced.

There were several links, with buried information, that did not directly
answer the end-user's question, but instead, barraged them with
superfluous
information, that may or may not have answered this user's question. I
have
always maintained that on message boards, bulletin boards, user
relationship
panels, and in teaching, that helping someone is about teaching them, and
providing simple, clear answers out of their questions.

It seems that this particular thread had gone down the path of "throwing a
book at the user and shouting "RTFM".

It was just simply a number of people who desired to help, but did not
follow through.

I am not out to seek a flame war, nor will I reply to any responses on
this
topic, I simply hope that you and the others here, take a position to
assist
some of these people with a "pinch of empathy". Not everyone can absorb
the
technical solutions as quickly and easily as you can, and it helps them
for
you to think about their struggle when replying.

Just my 2¢, YMMV.

GoodNub.
