Sometimes, the guy with the info is too busy to help. Sometimes, the guy doing the asking wants everyone else to do his work for him. The real rule is, don't reply if you don't have something constructive to say, and be polite, even if it seems the guy you're answering has a few loose bolts. Outside of that, we are all on our own, and you can't enforce stuff on a volunteer organization. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C programming, Electronics, 213 Lakeside Dr. Apt.
