Subject:FW: Quick reference cards/job aids From:Mc Jdub <wigginje -at- PSSCH -dot- PS -dot- GE -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 25 Jun 1997 15:25:10 -0400
Is there a commission?
I don't mind when someone asks the list for help with a weird software
problem, or has a question about an element of style, etc., but isn't
asking for help coming up with ideas for a job going a little too far?
