Hello Domain Lee,

Since this is not the first time you have used the firebird-support
list to promote your tools, it seems like a good time to warn you
that you are breaking the list rules and we do have a "three strikes
and you're out" policy for all of our list forums. It is not nice to
have to ban well-meaning people because they refuse to exercise this
courtesy to other list users.

We have firebird-tools where tools developers can alert Firebird
users to the existence of their software and provide links to
downloads, updates and communities. This also has the advantage that
your links will probably get picked up by IBPhoenix and added to
their comprehensive Contributed Downloads section.

For better or for worse, most of our core lists are English
language. If you normally communicate in Chinese, Russian, Greek,
etc., you are expected to take the necessary steps, when posting to
our lists and newsgroups, to ensure that your email headers use a
character set that does not break the threads that you reply to by
sending garbage text in the headers.

Finally, please trim your replies. That means you delete the
footers, other garbage and any body content that is not relevant to
your reply; and you do not allow your email client to insert verbose
signature text (even in an ANSI character set!)

This message is aimed not just at you, but also at others who think
the list rules don't apply to them. They do. They apply to
everyone. It's not about being authoritarian, it's about being
courteous, useful and relevant. We have a huge international
community with a large number of different perspectives - hence, we
have a lot of support and info groups with distinct specialties. You
can locate and subscribe to any of them by visiting
http://firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=lists or you can link to that
page via the Resources sub-menu at the top of any page on the Firebird website.
