Formal Complaint

[PC Datasheet]

On 10/31 I responded to a post, "How Do I Set Up A Small Business Database",
by 78cryj in the MS.Public.Acces s.TablesDesign newsgroup . The poster
requested help " ...if you know any database programmer that will charge me
less please let me know!!" Kevin Hill of 3NF Consulting responded "Feel free
to hit my link below, or the link of any of the other frequent posters in
these fora..." and I responded in kind asking the poster to contact me.

Arno R (not his real name!) has been hounding every post I make in the
newsgroups and no one else. He is on a personal campaign to try and stop my
offers of help to posters who either ask for help beyond what the newsgroups
offer or by the nature of their post appear to need help beyond what the
newsgroups can provide. He has gone so far as to send emails to my office.

I request you to ignore Arno R's responses and respond to him strongly
requesting that he quit polluting the newsgroups with his dribble. Note the
foul language he uses in his response and judge his credibility by his
language.

In the context of posting to a public newsgroup, what is the difference
between a 'formal complaint' and an ordinary complaint? This doesn't seem
too formal to me. I would put it in the category of 'common complaint',
'boring whine', 'tedious niggle' but not 'formal complaint'.

Can we judge your credibility by the quality of your answers (and
questions!) to these groups in the past? I'm sorry but you might not be too
happy with that either (note: that is strictly a personal opinion sprinkled
with speculation).

FWIW, I think you would be better off keeping your complaints about Arno to
yourself. This is a battle you've been fighting forever and have little
chance of actually winning. Take the time you spend on this battle and
study a really good Access book. It would be a much more productive use of
your time that would benefit all of us.

Re: Formal Complaint

I guess it is just too easy and too much fun responding to the whining. A
problem poster would have been dumped a long time ago on the Access-L.

Re: Formal Complaint

OK, Duane, why aren't you jumping on this one???

Feel free to click my link, browse my site, etc. If you like, there are a
number of ways to contact me on the site. No charge for intial info
gathering. Actual project implementation is hourly, at a reasonable rate.

Designing a database in Access follows the same rules as designing a
database in SQL Server, Oracle, etc. Access simply makes it much easier to
paint yourself into a corner. I've been doing it for over 10 years and
learn something new on every project.

The English have a wonderful word for this kind of
complaint:

whinging

which my pocket British - American dictionary defines as:

To whine and complain to no apparent purpose.

The included examples were:
1) complaining about the weather
2) arguing with an umpire

The typical response to someone's complaint is to say:

Stop whinging and carry on.

Re: Formal Complaint

Is that like a lawyer objecting during a trial, the judge overrules the
objection, and then the lawyer STRENEOUSLY objects.
