Re: zorro explains the scanner riddle Old N Slow: just a recap--- Zorro started this thing out with the following request: " I need to scan something. I'm looking for someone who can print a 2 page document and scan it, and email me the image. " Two hours later PROBLEM SOLVED! As Harry Limey pointed out "Zorro" sent this exact same request to: 24hoursupport.helpdesk - Sep 1, 5:10 pm - 4 messages - 3 authors comp.periphs.scanners - Sep 1, 5:11 pm - 5 messages - 3 authors microsoft.public.windowsxp.general - Sep 1, 5:44 pm - 5 messages - 3 authors microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax - Sep 1, 5:46 pm - 3 messages - 3 authors microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware - Sep 1, 5:47 pm - 7 messages - 5 authors alt.computer - Sep 1, 5:49 pm - 2 messages - 2 authors microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support - Sep 1, 5:51 pm - 5 messages - 4 authors alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit - Sep 1, 5:53 pm - 21 messages - 7 authors uk.adverts.computer - Sep 1, 5:56 pm - 12 messages - 8 authors alt.graphics.photoshop - Sep 1, 5:53 pm - 59 messages - 17 authors (these were to the "need someone to scan me something please" request) This thread, "zorro explains the scanner riddle" submitted Sep 6 2006 only to this group has recieved 19 more posts . A grand total so far of 78 replies from this NG of which only a few could be considered helpful to him. I realize that the request was hard to understand and seemed like BS and his rational seemed misguided, but according to him his problem was solved a couple hours after the numerous solicitations, and we are still bickering and harping amongst ourselves 8 Days later. If "Harry Limey" was right when he stated ,"This has got to be some sort of research to find the most helpful/unhelpful group!!" (Which I doubt, BTW) Non the less, I submit that this NG has proven that when a bunch of artistic intellectuals get together the odds are 70 to 1 that they will discuss almost anything at greater lengths than any of the other groups. Hopefuly we can put this and the "need someone to scan me something please" threads to bed. -- "Granny" Can't we all just get along? Granny
