Question

Still no supervision in the French and Spanish forums?

I forgot that threads are extremely short lived in this forum, and the discussion that really began within an unrelated thread, here

Pierre Courtejoie, "Shouldn't these links be removed as soon as possible?" #8, 27 Feb 2005 1:21 pm

has already gone to the Archives, where it is in danger of going to the limbus in the near future.

I still think that this is an important issue, and still wait to see any improvement in those forums showing that the messages by Pierre and myself on the subject have not fallen in a void. Although we both value and thank Neil Keller for his attempts to get some reaction in higher quarters, his attempts have unfortunately been a failure.

It is pathetic to see pages in the forums in Spanish with templates that are written in a mixture of English and a very bad Spanish. It is even more pathetic that JC stopped more than a year ago feeling authorized to introduce any non trivial change to improve this situation. The worst part is however to feel that there is no one listening, or at least willing to admit that there might be problems in those forums.

I feel very disappointed.

    The download server was a very special case.

    I believe that the example with Chris Cox points to a complete lack of organization in the management of all Adobe servers rather than "secrecy". I don't think they want to keep it a secret, they just don't know.

    Maybe should we ask John Nack to make a call in his blog ;)

    Well, Ramón, that's just further evidence showing that Adobe does not have the slightest intention to make that kind of information available even to its own personnel. Although I fail to understand such secrecy, I have come to accept it and have been talking about Adobe Fenwick since you mentioned the film. Pity that we are only less that a handful of mice that are trying unsuccessfully to roar in this case.

    Claudio,

    Even a top Adobe engineer like Chris Cox despaired publicly that he couldn't find out who was in charge of the main Adobe downloads server, let alone the Spanish forums.

    Pierre, it would seem that information is simply not available for mere mortals. An extremely well kept secret, in any case.

    Claudio, I tried to contact the adress given on the Dutch pages, but halas, it is customer service, and they have NO idea of who could be in charge. I really wonder how to contact those people.

    >I guess it must be true about Americans and irony...

    Possibly so, but I don't see how that's at all relevant. I'm English, and I do understand irony.

    That said, although I accept that Claudio's intentions may be honourable, his words are indeed open to (mis)interpretation.

    Perhaps he would like to reflect upon that before he next comes here reporting others for perceived transgressions.

    Yes, let's hope we can now go back on topic, and that our cause is not completely hopeless ...

    Indeed, but I hope that it will be brought in focus, and that the recents "events" will make some positive noise for our (hopeless?) cause...
