This thread can be expected to cover these additional points: - The -questions list has a bug: when a common or newbie non-technical question is posted, a race condition occurs in which everyone tries to wait for someone else to answer the question. - Those of us who read and answer technical questions posted here are urged do so with redirection to -questions. Failure to do so usually results in careful application of clue-oriented, dimensional wood-products. - Also recommended are pointers to additional resources, such as searchable mailing list archives and pointers to other threads or guides adressing the queried subject.
