Only that, if I am not the one helping this individual, I could care less about the details of his problem. It will be nice to know when you have managed to get him fixed up and the nature of the fundamental problem. However, the dozen or so transactions it usually takes to step a new user through the maze are just clutter in my in-basket. I'll divert them to the ultra-low priority pile and then, in a few days, read only the last message or two of the thread. >I was making a general comment about the 'willingness' > of others to also help track down a problem (I think that the last count > was 5 independent users with help for this particular inquiry) and the > benefit it would have for others with issues in the same area. And, I suspect that is three or four more than are necessary. Too many cooks .... IMHO, one knowledgable, willing mentor is adequate. More may cause as much confusion as they eliminate because they are not working in a coordinated manner. If you are willing to take the assignment, be my guest.
