Against my better judgment, I'll join in.

+1 to Janek.
And yes, I've worked in an office environment. And, having done so, I
feel confident in saying that a mailing list is not an office
environment. But even in a mailing list, a little chit-chat is one
thing, but some days there is a LOT of chit-chat. For example, on
September 15 I received 50 emails from users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. On
September 16 there were 61. If I recall correctly, much of that was
chit chat. Perhaps these are two of the days Janek was referring to.
The question you want to ask yourself is this: am I so desperate for
chit-chat that I am OK with alienating people who are on this list for
issues directly related to using TDE?
Cheers.
Jim
