It _surely_ isn't a search engine, right? Sorry, really couldn't help it. People often enough (including myself) ask on lists for info that could be dug up in the Handbook or some list searching, but asking after obviously not even bothering to even attempt to do any 'homework' on Google (or other search engine) can quickly take a very useful mailing list and turn it into a waste of space....even moreso when 'abused' (IMHO of course) by several more followups, any one of which could have been found in less time than it took to get a response from the (overly gracious) list....
