[isugamedev-devel] Re[10]: flood

[Kevin M. <ke...@vr...>]

I really didn't say it, but I was thinking that his post was not a flood.  
Posts asking for help are not floods.  Technical back and forth 
discussions are floods and should be taken offline.  Then as curtosy the 
resolution should be posted for all to see and learn from...

basically keep it to a minimum, but also try to help out your fellow club 
member.  help is partly why this club is here.
