Beans no questions. I've asked questions & received answers and answered questions and everyone here knows who we are and that the "answers" are not the gospel but perhaps worth a try and the proof is in the pudding of giving whatever answer a shot. Questions posted on "questions" are like as not to get a newbie flamed until the newbie learns to post them "correctly," whereas here it's informal and does not strike fear into the one asking the question. The only consistent objector to questions on this list seems to be Sue Blake (others get it from her) and if she wants to bounce me from the list--so be it. I've been operating FBSD successfully for several years (some of us are not so new) and I can live without the list--my purpose, when the time is available, is to watch for questions I can answer correctly which, as my Unix Mentor says, is "appropriate payback". Someone on this thread asked if questions are not allowed what in the world is the list for in the first place and I wholly agree and asked the same questions myself a few years ago. Sure, I've posted a few success notes and a few blooper notes, but in the end such is a waste of time.
