I appreciate the posts that I recieve from Midrange but there are select users ( as an example / MacWheel ) that when he posts a message, the message will post at 2 minute intervals sometimes resulting in as many as 90 post of the same message. Anyone have an idea of how to prevent this from happening ?? Bob Riehle Sorrento Cheese co.

Many dot.com places that go bankrupt do so suddenly as a big surprise to people who believed in this new economy theory ... I was reading in some e-press about ISPs that went down suddenly without any warning to their customers & stayed down, permanently, with totally lost access to the customer data ... this could lead to a wave of bankrupsies by customers unable to function without access to adequate ISP-backups of their data. I wonder how much of this economy slow down is the dot com ponzi scheme reaching into old economy enterprises that fell for it & messing them up. Many people ignore notices that were mailed for good reason. The first time it happened to a co-worker was notice of date of change in state tax rates & the accounting co-worker waited until the date of the change to tell me ON THAT DAY about this. He wanted me to wave my magic programming hand & implement the new tax rate retroactive to everything we had done from start of day, but the software did not use external tax rate files, and shipments created transactions in real time. I told him, pointing out the window at a truck pulling out of our loading dock. "Do you see that truck?" "Yes." "It is full of merchandise we have shipped at yesterday's tax rates ... you need to dash out there & flag it down so we can correct the invoices that are inside the packages, then you need to shut our whole operation down for a few days, because that is how long it is going to take me to redo the software, and thoroughly test it." Well, this became a modification request to implement PDQ like anything else, but I wanted to drill down the point that the time he spent sitting on the notice was time we ended up paying taxes without being reimbursed for them.
