not only microsoft influenced. I often ask companies for help with their
programs or other products or for some help to find a product for my
needs. Often these are special problems not to solve in one pass. These
companies have of course computers and -I'm sure it is so- a database
for all of the questions and answers and so on .. and most of my mails
first get an answer 'your mail have reached us and is in future reported
as ....' (where this is a very long special code for the mail). So I'm
sure anybody in this companie would be able to read all I have written
before ... but allways the addition comment is 'please add all of your
mails before'.
But we get out of topic. So this is the last I will say on it (for the
moment).
greetings
Manfred
