On Wednesday 13 March 2002 07:00 pm, Joe McAlerney enlightened us with: But, I think one out of every several hundred posts should be entitled to be a mistake. Lord know some of my earlier posts were pretty naive and clearly showed that I was still in the learning process. Joe, I certainly agree, we have all been in a learning process all along. There are tons of questions posted all the time here for demarc, acid, snort for win32 and more. There are tons of people that offer help, advice, and most of it is good, unbiased, help. I am aware of the work that Silicon Defense has undertaken with regards to Snort, and was surprised when M. Steeles tone seemed more like a sales rep then someone trying to help out a fellow snorter. I think that the folks over at snort.org have done a good job (still a learning process of course) at rearing the project and will continue to do so. I know that Marty has always been concerned with the portablity of Snort, and snort users should know that they can count on finding appropriate source files, binaries, packages, and documentation right here, on snort..org. On Wednesday 13 March 2002 07:00 pm, Joe McAlerney enlightened us with: "The tricky part for us is to help people without it looking self serving. If Mike Steele points Windows user Bill to his documentation, it comes across far worse then if some other random person did. This is why we're trying to get the docs up on Snort.org, so we can link there. Mike gets these kinds of questions literally a dozen times a week, and most always it is answered "in the documentation". " he gets these requests dozens of times a week? I dont see a problem of him responding to people on your own list (if that is what you are referring to), and telling them to rtfm or whatever it is that he is replying... that is on your list, and your domain. Now, answering requests for help from the snort-users list with : go to our site, download our documentation, not that stuff from snort.org... would be similar to someone asking a question about snort and one of the sourcefire guys saying... try out one of our sensors... go to our site and view our screenshots ... dl a brochure, and by the way our product does bla bla bla.. there is no place for that on this list. We all owe, Stewart and crew included, a big enormous thanks to Marty Roesch, regardless of how much work and effort we have or have not put into the Snort project. Marty, thanks.
